IN THE DRAMATICALLY SKILLFUL HANDS AND FLOWING LYRICISM OF MS. STABILE, WE FEEL THE ARC FROM JOY TO PAIN BROUGHT HOME WITH MASTERFULLY PRESENTED CONTRASTS OF VOCAL EMOTION
"STABILE'S SECOND-SCENE TOUR DE FORCE IS DEEPLY INVOLVING...
"Soprano Elena Stabile is marvelous in the role of Tatyana, crafting a magnetic characterization of a shy bookworm who believes she's at last found the kind of romance she's read about. Stabile offers a layered portrayal of a conflicted young woman, and does so with a voice of both power and gentleness."

DARK SISTERS (ALMERA)
Journey North Opera Company presents Nico Muhly's two act opera Dark Sisters
​
DARK SISTERS follows one woman’s dangerous attempt to escape her life as a member of the FLDS Church (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints), a sect that split from mainstream Mormonism in the early 20th Century largely because of the LDS Church’s renunciation of polygamy. The male founders of the Mormon faith (Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, chief among them) loom large in American history; Dark Sisters puts the women front and center.
The narrative draws inspiration from the flurry of media attention surrounding the two most infamous raids on FLDS compounds (the 1953 raid at Short Creek, AZ and the 2008 raid at the YFZ Ranch in Eldorado, TX) as well as the stories of the over 80 wives of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Set against a red-earthed landscape filled with revelations, dark prophets and white temples stretching towards heaven, Dark Sisters charts one woman’s quest for self-discovery in a world where personal identity is forbidden.
