Be transported to Medieval Spain
Experience the soundtrack to the lives of Christian, Jewish & Arabic women in the stunning setting of The Opus Theatre with atmospheric candlelight and lighting design.
Spain. July 1492: the deadline for the expulsion of the Jews. At twilight, a Jewish woman lights the lamps and starts up her spinning wheel. It is her last night in Seville.
