When people in power believe in conspiracy theories, how do we respond? Come see "Waking the Witch" by Ashi Day, presented by Opera Ithaca at the Kitchen Theatre Company November 12, 14, 15, and 16, 2025.

This powerful one-act opera, featuring Nicholas Kelliher, explores the intersection of power and persecution, drawing connections between historical witch trials and contemporary political rhetoric that mirrors these forces of control and exclusion. The libretto integrates texts from both historical witchfinders and modern-day political figures, highlighting the ways in which fear and moral panic have been manipulated to control public opinion.
