December 15, 2013
6:00pm – 7:30pm
To counter the negative media assault against healthy adolescent girls’ body image and self esteem, the New York Opera Society has commissioned a new, 45 minute comedic opera from renown Norwegian composer Gisle Kverndokk and librettist Oystein Wiik about girls’ body image called “Supersize Girl”. This opera is a moral, inspiring, empowering representation of a girl’s journey through the travails of plastic surgery and back via a reality show.
