A heartwarming new opera created for families
Newly commissioned from composer and librettist Carla Lucero, The Three Women of Jerusalem (Las tres mujeres de Jerusalén), will be performed by a cast of hundreds in a monumental staging at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, with hundreds of additional performers joining in virtually from around the world.
Sung in Spanish, the opera is based on the Passion narrative of the Eighth Station of the Cross, depicting the women who weep for Jesus as He is forced toward the crucifixion. The opera imagines who these unnamed women were, showing the experiences of ordinary people sharing their compassion when confronted with evil.
