What's playing on this page: This is the opening of Act IV. The Soul (composer Elaine Kaplinsky) emerges slowly into the light while all the other Hildegurls taunt her as the Devil in multiple languages (Lisa Bielawa in French, Kitty Brazelton in Latin, Eve Beglarian in English and Elaine herself pre-recorded in German). The Soul remains resolute and petitions Humility the queen of the Virtues to help her with her healing "medicine." |
