Mission Opera is set to present the West Coast premiere of “Girondines.”

The opera by Kirsten C. Kunkle and Sarah Van Sciver is set to take place on Oct. 28 and 29 at the Canyon High School Performing Arts Center. The opera explores the stories of six women of the French Revolution.

“The opera’s story is timeless as women worldwide continue to fight for their voices,” said Kunkle, who will direct and star in the opera, in an official press release. “It is thrilling to present a new work created and performed by women which amplifies the legacies of six courageous women from a bygone era.”

The opera stars Kunkle and Catherine Antonia Kenney as murderess Charlotte Corday; Ashley Becker and Jessica Schneiderman as playwright Olympe de Gouges; Laurice Kennel and Ariel Pisturino as painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun; Claire Pegram and Leeza Yorke as writer Madame Roland; Kaitlyn Tierney and Alexis Wesley as philosopher Madame De Staël; and Marisa Robinson and Laurel Irene as chemist Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze Lavoisier.

“Girondines” premiered back in 2022 with Wilmington Concert Opera.
