This opera tells the story of Nora, a woman having a very bad day. She seeks solace by locking herself inside her apartment and turning on the radio. Nora is played by a silent actress. The chorus represents the inner monologue of her life and the imaginative possibilities that await her.

Audiences can expect to hear a variety of musical styles, sounds and textures, from radio ads to big band to grand choral singing. The transformative power of voices singing together provides connection, hope, and the promise of joy – essential not just for the protagonist Nora, but everyone navigating modern life.
