Continuing their tradition of championing the work of women, Opera Ithaca presents Kamala Sankaram and Susan Yankowitz’s contemporary opera, Thumbprint, December 2nd through 4th at the Hangar Theatre. The 90-minute contemporary opera in inspired by the experiences of Mukhtar Mai, the first female victim of gang rape to bring her male attackers to justice in Pakistan. In lieu of a financial settlement, Mai requested the construction of schools for girls, that they may be educated to help prevent the humiliation of signing their name with only their thumbprint. The work is based on interviews with Mukhtar Mai and explores the family ties and tribal traditions that lead up to an astonishing act of courage. The score is a dynamic collision of Hindustani and European opera influences with an ensemble of seven singers and six instrumentalists. The cast features Broadway’s Evangelia Kingsley, Smitha Johnson, Yamuna Meleth and Christian Henry. Susannah Berryman directs and Jonathan Rose conducts.
