Mannes Opera presents “Lysistrata or the Nude Goddess”

Gerald W. Lynch Theater 524 West 59th Street, New York

Mannes Opera presents “Lysistrata or the Nude Goddess” inspired by Aristophanes’ comedy about the women of Athens and Sparta who, embittered by endless war between the two cities, refuse to have sex with their men until the fighting stops. The opera is not an adaptation but a fantastical riff on the ancient Greek play.
