Student Opera: Angels of the House

Shambhavi Mishra and Sophie Carpenter collaborated to produce their operatic film Angels of the House, which premiered last weekend. For a limited time, you can view the finished work on YouTube.

Based in London, England in the 1800s, this opera follows the unlikely friendship between two women; Caroline Norton, a highly acclaimed women's rights activist, and Arabella Decker, a working class, soon to be mother. 

This opera pushes the envelope by exploring the human rights and policies of the past while connecting their effect to the present day. The themes we explore include mental/physical abuse, women's rights, reproductive rights, and miscarriage. The opera is based on historical realities brought to life in an art form to further express the injustices of the past and provide a space for open conversation.
