In a dystopian future, women are forced into childbearing servitude by an extremist theocratic regime. Escape is nearly impossible—but Offred, a handmaid, is determined to find a way back to her child, no matter the cost.

Based on the landmark novel by Margaret Atwood, this intense operatic drama gives voice to a terrifying, fictional world that is becoming increasingly prescient.

Some pieces of music show off a great symphony orchestra; Mahler's Symphony No. 5 is one of them. Epic in proportion, volcanic in power yet brimming with shades of tenderness and lyricism, Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 makes for a hearty meal for the musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Hear this world-renowned ensemble playing Mahler's mighty Symphony No. 5 under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles. Also on the program, the American mezzo-soprano Irene Roberts sings excerpts from Alban Berg's chilling opera.
