World premier film debuts July 12
It was scandalous in 411 B.C.: A woman, Lysistrata, was so fed up with constant war that she convinced noble women to withhold sex to get their warrior husbands to stop fighting. Reimagined for today as a comic account of her extraordinary mission, the 2005 opera Lysistrata, or The Nude Goddess, was filmed on location in Pittsburgh last summer featuring members of the Leslie Fleischner Young Artists Program with Music Director Robert Frankenberry, and produced by Pittsburgh Festival Opera.
