She Unnames Them: An Opera

“She Unnames Them: An Opera”, the music thesis of Xiaoxi Tu ’09, is happening this weekend. No tickets are required, but show up early to get a good seat.

Three chances to see this post-modern opera, with hoe downs, raps, and arias from the mind of Xiaoxi Tu. Inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin’s short story about Adam and Eve naming (and unnaming) the animals in the Garden of Eden.
