When Martin, a 50-year-old husband and father, confesses his love for a goat, it sets off a wild chain of events in the architect’s successful and seemingly perfect family life. Edward Albee’s The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? reflects on moral judgment, crisis management, and sexual psychology, in an absurdly harrowing story that is subtitled “Notes toward a definition of tragedy,” for reasons that become clear as the play progresses.

She has performed music since she was a child, but this will be her first opera performance.
