Opera Parallèle, San Francisco presents Anya17, a powerful new opera. This American premiere takes an unflinching look at the harsh realities of modern slavery and human trafficking through the gripping story of Anya – a young woman who is coerced into slavery with the promise of a better life in the West. Intense, moving, and not to be missed.

Marines’ Memorial Theater – San Francisco in conjunction with the 2014 Opera America Conference.
ANYA17 addresses human trafficking and creates a poignant example of how the arts can be used to illuminate social issues. Anya17 is the story of a young, eastern European girl who is coerced into slavery with the promise of a better life in the West. Mr. Gorb’s innovative and powerful music explores the emotional strains of the tragic situation. Mr. Kaye’s naturalistic writing captures the true story and uplifts its content through his artistic mastery. Led by Conductor and Artistic Director Nicole Paiement.

Experts claim human trafficking is a $32 billion industry, second in size only to the drug trade. The US State Department estimates that between 20,000 and 40,000 people are trafficked into the country each year for involuntary servitude or modern-day slavery, with San Francisco and the Bay Area ranking among the top 20 destinations according to the FBI.Opera Parallèle is a professional, non-profit organization that develops and performs contemporary chamber operas, engaging audiences in a compelling new culture of dramatic vocal works. Anya17’s brutal tale will be told through a dramatic use of media projections inside a large half-dome representing Anya’s mind.
Opera Parallèle continues its tradition of welcoming the public to peek behind the scenes at a Sneak Preview with performance and commentary on 9 June 2014 as well as an open staging rehearsal where guests can watch the director, conductor, and singers work together in a hands-on rehearsal on June 13 at Marines’ Memorial Theater. The company’s final dress rehearsal on June 19 is open to an invited group of community-based organizations from the anti-trafficking community free of charge. There will be a panel discussion with Opera Parallèle’s artistic leaders and composer Adam Gorb on June 18.
