About
South African composer Monthati Masebe is writing an opera about Queen Mamani, one of the first women in 18th-century South Africa to marry another woman. Seeking to expand the classical music canon still dominated by white, male composers. Traveling between Vienna, New York, Johannesburg, and the villages of Limpopo, Monthati sets out in search of instruments, sounds, and myths for her opera - but also in search of her own artistic voice.
