PureGold [REDUX] Sirena, by Kirsty Ferguson-Lewis

  • George Wood Theatre, Goldsmiths University of London Department of Music New Cross United Kingdom (map)

'Sirena' is a contemporary opera for three women reimagining the Sirens from Homer's Odyssey in a modern feminist context.

The Sirens appearance in The Odyssey is brief yet they survive as one of the most famous symbols of the feminine voice throughout history. Once monstrous, half woman-half bird creatures, the Sirens would lure sailors to their deathly fate with the sound of their beautiful voice. This modern opera, composed and produced by MMus student Kirsty Ferguson-Lewis, transports the sirens to the 21st century; telling a comical, yet emotive story of seduction, femininity and power.

Performed by:
Kirsty Ferguson-Lewis, Serena Braida and Jessica Barker-Wren
