Abstract

October 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the deadliest maritime disaster on the Pacific coast of North America to date. The S.S. Princess Sophia, a Canadian Pacific Railway passenger steamship, sank in Lynn Canal near Juneau, Alaska claiming all 350 lives on October 25, 1918. Orpheus Project (formerly Opera to Go) seized the opportunity to meld performing arts with Alaska's rich history by commissioning a brand new, full scale opera based on this maritime tragedy. Ms. Giorgio will speak about the history, commissioning and composition process and past and future events related to The Princess Sophia opera and other commemoration efforts.
