Work & Edition Details
I have compiled in Offred Suite the five arias sung by Offred, the heroine in my opera The Handmaid’s Tale, based on the novel by Magaret Atwod, with libretto by Paul Bentley. Offred’s tale takes place during the fundamentalist regime of Gilead, the former USA, a mono-theocratic dictatorship in the first half of the 21st century, which has stifled all personal and intellectual freedom of women. In the opera Offred sings of her passion, her suffering in captivity, torn apart from her husband Luke and their 5-year old daughter.
