HOW I HATE THIS ROOM<\/p>\n
Music: Lee R. Kesselman This concert aria is drawn from an opera-in-progress by Lee Kesselman (music) and James Tucker (libretto) after The Yellow Wallpaper, <\/em>a novella by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Writer Gilman reached a degree of celebrity for her feminist writings and her unconventional life of divorce, relinquishment of custody and second marriage. First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper<\/em> is written as the secret journal of a woman, sentenced by her husband, John, to a country rest cure to remedy her \u201cnervous condition.\u201d Her husband and doctor refuse to allow her to express herself through writing and confine her in a bedroom with a garish, yellow-patterned wallpaper. Over time, she creates her own reality in her journal, discovers a feminine altar-ego behind the wallpaper and descends into insanity. HOW I HATE THIS ROOM is drawn from two scenes of the opera-in-progress. Kesselman and Tucker are the authors of two previous operas for young audiences, The Bremen Town Musicians<\/em> and The Emperor\u2019s New Clothes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [dflip id=\"4002\" type=\"thumb\" ]<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lee-kesselman\/how-i-hate-this-room<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2210,"template":"","meta":{"_crdt_document":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[59,58,25],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2209","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-chamber-music","7":"product_cat-lee-kesselman","8":"product_cat-soprano","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-variable"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2209"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2209"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.northstarmusicllc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
