It merges surrealism, satire, and music to tell a story about conscience, power, and justice. Characters sing instead of speak, but in everyday language, creating a world where music feels natural, not staged. Professional singers voice the roles, while actors embody them on screen \u2014 a fusion of operatic sound and cinematic intimacy. My goal is to make opera feel modern, alive, and accessible, even to those who never enter an opera house.<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Themis is Tired \u2014 an opera-film by Ilya Demutsky (2025, 35 min)Original language: RussianSubtitles: English, French A corrupt judge\u2019s life unravels when Conscience invades her home as ball lightning.
