Inspired by the Greek myth, Psyche follows the quest of the wrathful 
Aphrodite to ruin Psyche, a mortal rumored to be more beautiful than 
the goddess herself. This new chamber opera features music by Garrett 
Fisher, libretto by Thom Schramm, direction/dramaturgy by Ken 
Cerniglia, choreography/co-direction by Christy Fisher, and 
puppets/costumes by Tori Ellison. Like Fisher's other works, Psyche 
explores the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western 
traditions by combining such diverse elements as haiku, an eclectic 
ensemble, melodies and rhythms that incorporate Indian classical 
traditions, stylized movement, and puppets inspired by various Asian 
traditions. Performers include Linda Strandberg (Aphrodite), Ben Black 
(Eros), Vanessa De Wolf (the Sister), Gary Zinter (the King), Ines 
Andrade, Mary Cutrera, and Archana Kumar (the Chorus), Dean Moore and 
Stan Shikuma (Percussion), Esther Sugai (Indian harmonium), Steven 
Cresswell (Viola), and Greg Bagley (Bass).
