Opera AACC presents Computing Venus

Join us September 24-26!

Opera AACC presents:

Computing Venus, a one-act opera that provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of astronomer Maria Mitchell, one of the earliest champions of women in STEM. At age 29, she discovered a comet from the rooftop of her house in Nantucket. A year later, she was hired as the official Computer of Venus for the United States, becoming the only professional woman astronomer in the country. From 1865 on, Mitchell became the first female professor of astronomy at Vassar College. Music by Timothy C. Tacach and Libretto by Caitlin Vincent.
