Salem, 1692. In this remote and deeply pious community, a group of adolescent girls is accused of dancing obscenely in the woods one night. Fearing retribution, they begin to falsely accuse those around them of being in league with Satan. As deep personal grievances and resentments collide with superstition and lust, the village is whipped into an unbridled, bloodthirsty frenzy, fueled by righteous hysteria. At the center of the crisis is a once powerless young girl who now holds the terrifying authority to dictate the fate of all those around her. Out of the shadows of the past, Robert Ward has created an American masterpiece of high drama, narrative power and unexpected beauty. The winner of the Pulitzer Prize in music, the opera exposes how ignorance, intolerance, delicate political agendas and fear infect the human heart. Sung in English with English supertitles.
