Libretto and Music by Anna K. Jacobs
ECHO is a chamber musical-opera hybrid, in which three women – Maryanne, Beth, and Vanessa – reimagine the ancient myth of Echo and Narcissus, a story they’ve uniquely claimed as their own. As moments from the myth and moments from the lives of Maryanne, Vanessa, and Beth increasingly collide, the women start to question whether the myth is in fact their story… and if it isn’t, what is?
ECHO features a cast of 3 Women.
