Ashlike on the Cradle of the Wind: Jill Battson, librettist / Andrew Staniland, composer

Rosa: Camyar Chai, librettist / James Rolfe, composer
From Opera to Go 2004. Hector has been searching for his wife ever since she ran away from their village, after the death of their child. He finally finds her in a brothel. Rosa is moving and beautiful opera about guilt and forgiveness.
