Pygmalion at Kentucky Opera

Kentucky Opera presents a reimagined version of Jean-Philippe Rameau's Pygmalion, blending the classical myth with a contemporary narrative set in 1950s America. This production focuses on Céphise, portrayed by Tess Altiveros, as she navigates societal expectations and embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Directed by Tara Branham, it features an authentic baroque orchestra led by conductor Stephen Stubbs. With a modern take on themes of identity and transformation, this hour-long opera engages audiences through its combination of 18th-century music and modern storytelling.
