A new chamber opera, based on an infamous 19th century scandal. Englishwoman Isabella Robinson wrote diary entries detailing an extramarital affair. After her abusive husband stole and published her diary, she fought valiantly against a legal system that regarded her as property. A story of marital deceit and violated privacy that resonates powerfully in the era of non-consensual sexting and #MeToo.
