An intense
tragedy of love, false hope, and the elusiveness of freedom, as a woman
fights an oppressive regime to keep her family together.

| Boston-based
soprano Joanna Porackova will star as Magda Sorel, a desperate woman who
frantically seeks a visa in order to join her husband John in exile.
Ms. Porackova previously portrayed Magda in the acclaimed Washington National
Opera production of The Consul directed by Gian Carlo Menotti himself.
Boston-based contralto Marion Dry will appear as John Sorel’s mother; Ms.
Dry has appeared around the country as a soloist with opera companies,
symphony orchestras, and chamber ensembles and received critical acclaim
for her 2000 portrayal of the Old Woman in Vanessa with Opera Boston.
Bass Daniel Cole, the villainous Wurm in 2004’s Luisa Miller, returns
to Opera Boston as the Secret Police Agent. Tenor Frank Kelley will
sing the role of the Magician; Mr. Kelley most recently appeared with Opera
Boston as Raoul de Gardefeu in October 2004’s La vie parisienne.
Baritone David Kravitz, currently appearing as Thomas Putnam in Opera Boston’s
production of The Crucible,
will sing the role of Mr. Kofner.
