• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Set in 1147, HILDEGARD follows German Benedictine abbess/polymath/composer St. Hildegard von Bingen as she receives visions from God. At grave risk of excommunication, she sets out to document her visions, enlisting her fellow nun Richardis von Stade to illustrate the manuscript. As they develop a transformative partnership that awakens them in ways both profound and unexpected, the two women must confront the powers that would see them erased from history rather than making it. More broadly, HILDEGARD is about the desire for connection – to divinity, to humanity, and to our deepest sense of self – and the conflicts that compete therein.

  The world premiere of HILDEGARD, produced by Beth Morrison Projects and
  co-presented with LA Opera and The Wallis, runs from November 5–9 at LA Opera. For tickets and more information, visit laopera.org.
