Programme Note

The project is a series of short operas inspired by the oral histories of people who shopped or worked in the landmark Sears Crosstown building, long since abandoned. Ivonne is a hard-edged and emotionally detached head-secretary, circa 1960, whose shocking discovery in a company restroom shatters her resolutely controlled façade.
