"It was impossible to convince anybody that she wasn't mad."
Librettist Hannah Moscovitch.

10 Days in a Madhouse isn't just an opera. is a vital, immersive piece of storytelling that challenges us to look at our own history and institutional systems.

Don't miss the performance that the Wall Street Journal called "another triumph."

🎟️ Just four shows - June 16–21 at the Bluma Appel Theatre. Opening in THREE WEEKS!

Announcing the catalog of ✨️Rene Orth✨️ on Just a Theory Press!

Rene Orth is a composer whose music critics have praised for its dramatic force and immediacy. Classical Voice North America describes her as a “master composer” with a “sophisticated sound world,” while The Washington Post has noted the “unexpected immediacy” of her musical voice.

Orth recently completed a three-year tenure as Composer-in-Residence at Opera Philadelphia and previously served as the inaugural Resident Composer at Opera San José. During the 2023-24 season, Opera Philadelphia presented the world premiere of 10 Days in a Madhouse. The work won the 2024 Music Critics Association of North America Award for Best New Opera, was a finalist for “Best World Premiere” at the 2024 International Opera Awards, and was named #1 on The Washington Post’s “Best of Classical Music in 2023.” With a libretto by Hannah Moscovitch, the psychological drama follows journalist Nellie Bly through her internment at Blackwell’s Asylum, examining madness and the societal biases imposed on women.

Orth’s music has been performed by Washington National Opera, Fort Worth Opera, Berkeley Symphony, New World Symphony, and Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, among others. Recent projects include vocal and chamber works for Daniela Mack, Will Liverman, J’nai Bridges, and Raehann Bryce-Davis, as well as the chamber opera Love, Loss, and the Century Upon Us, developed with the Chautauqua Institution.

Stay tuned for the rest of her catalog releasing over the next few weeks! by @reneorth
