CCM Opera: Dark Sisters

DARK SISTERS   
Composed by Nico Muhly  
Libretto by Stephen Karam  
Brian Robertson, director  
Trevor Kroeger, graduate student conductor   
Inspired by true events, Dark Sisters follows one woman’s journey to escape her polygamous marriage in the FLDS Church, a sect that split from Mormonism in the early 20th century. When government raids disrupt their secretive lives, how will these women react to the glaring media attention and threat to their home? A poignant story that focuses on the experience of the women who have been told to “keep sweet” ... and silent.
