“The Priestess of Morphine” informs and pays tribute to Jewish lesbian erotic writer Marie-Madeleine, whose works the Nazis attempted to destroy during World War II. Much of her work was seen as contrary to societal standards on morality, including Sapphic themes and odes to her dependence on morphine. Librettist Aiden K. Feltkamp and Composer Rosśa Crean tell Marie Madeliene’s story through musical and forensic means, bringing an honest and unconventional look at this indomitable woman’s life and art.
