Venus In Furs

- an opera by Yoav Gal
- with soloists Greg Purnhagen and Melissa Hughes

Venus In Furs is an intimate love story between Severin, a man who desires to be dominated by a despotic lover, and Wanda, a free spirited and curious young woman who discovers within herself true cruelty. What transpires makes it difficult to know who is really in control. Venus in Furs is a multi-media chamber opera based on the 1870 novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Through continuous streaming video and electronic scoring the piece examines the underbelly of desire and obsession.
