After Life Chamber Opera in One Act Music by

TOM CIPULLO Libretto by

DAVID MASON

SYNOPSIS After Life imagines a post-mortem reunion of Pablo Picasso and Gertrude Stein. Stein believes her beloved Alice B. Toklas has conjured her back to life, while Picasso wonders which of his many lovers has called him up from the abyss. When both realize, to their disappointment, that their great loves are not present, the two towering figures discuss their lives, their complex relationship, and their activities during the Second World War. Their outsized egos clash, resentment between them boils over and, as they confront each other, a third voice rises from the darkness. A young girl, a victim of the Holocaust, appears, and it is her questioning that has brought Stein and Picasso back from the dead. Why did she die while they lived on? Can the two artists, whose work endures, ever know death as she does? Who will remember her, when she barely remembers herself?

CAST OF CHARACTERS AND PERFORMING FORCES Gertrude Stein Mezzo-Soprano Pablo Picasso High Baritone Youth ( female teen, a victim of the Holocaust) Soprano Flute Clarinet in B-flat Violin Violoncello Piano

Music by Tom Cipullo

Darkness. A sound of no knowable place. Before lights rise, we hear Getrude Stein singing, elongating words as if giving birth to them.
