Shizue: An American Story
composed by Kenji Oh with a libretto by Dmae Lo Roberts. This new piece illuminates the life of the remarkable poet and artist Shizue Iwatsuki. In 1916 at age 19, Shizue married to Kamegoro Iwatsuki and traveled with him to Hood River, Oregon to live on his apple farm. This opera is the second of Portland Opera’s Our Oregon Project, which commissions youth operas that highlight the experiences of Oregonians through a variety of lenses.

This is a free event and all is welcome!
