HANDMAID'S TALE

San Francisco Opera, Opera House

Blessed Be the Fruit … of the Resistance In a dystopian future, women are forced into childbearing servitude by an extremist theocratic regime. Escape is nearly impossible—but Offred, a handmaid, is determined to find a way back to her child, no matter the cost. Based on the landmark novel by Margaret Atwood, this intense operatic drama gives voice to a terrifying, fictional world that is becoming increasingly prescient. Poul Ruders’ evocative score creates one of the most impactful operas of the late twentieth century, seen for the first time on the West Coast in a powerful new co-production with The Royal Danish Theatre.
