Source/Filter Music Collective presents the West Coast premiere of Paul Hindemith’s Sancta Susanna, an immersive, site-specific horror opera production.

By News Desk

This daring production transforms the church into a secluded convent where an innocent nun, Susanna, grapples with disturbing satanic visions. As she seeks comfort from her mother superior, Susanna uncovers a dark and sinister secret hidden within the convent’s walls. Inspired by cult horror films like Dario Argento’s Suspiria and Ken Russell’s The Devils, this immersive experience promises a chilling night that will challenge the boundaries of opera and horror.

Audiences will also be treated to a haunting choral performance by the evil nun chorus, featuring atmospheric works by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Nadia Boulanger, and Hildegard von Bingen. The night will end with a Halloween dance party, where a live DJ will spin spooky hits. Costumes are highly encouraged.

Tickets are on sale now for $15-$50. For tickets and more information, visit this website.
