Genders of Gybberidge (World Premiere)
Marissa as Headmistress Tiberia Tervington
Paradox Opera has commissioned this world premiere operetta, libretto by Gwen Hyland, musical score by Vince Gover. The role of Headmistress Tiberia Tervington has been written specifically for Marissa.
More info: https://www.paradoxopera.org/gybberidge
The Genders of Gybberidge is a brand-new comic operetta about a prestigious (and legally distinct) magic school in the English countryside. The Gybberidge Academy of Mystic Arts values structure and adherence to tradition above all else, but the school's carefully-maintained status quo will be thrown into chaos when a new transfer student comes out as transgender. As things quickly spiral out of hand, factions will form, loyalties will change, and members of the audience will get several absurdly catchy melodies stuck in their heads. But who will emerge victorious in the battle between progress and tradition? Can a ragtag group of queer students withstand the wrath of the overbearing Headmistress Tervington?
With a libretto written by trans baritone Gwen Hyland and a delightfully energetic score composed by Vince Gover, The Genders of Gybberidge draws stylistic inspiration from the satirical comedies of Gilbert & Sullivan and thematic inspiration from present-day problems – most notably, The Author Who Shall Not Be Named and the growing tides of anti-LGBTQIA+ sentiment across the US, the UK, and elsewhere. Paradox Opera firmly believes that trans rights are human rights and is proud to bring audiences a story about queer joy, shrugging off oppressive systems, and finding community with other joyful outcasts.
