Text information	Text by Thibaut de Champagne, translated/adapted Kate Soper
Duration	5'
Commission	"The Hunt," a one-act opera, was commissioned by Miller Theatre at Columbia University
Premiere	October 12, 2024; Miller Theatre, New York City; "The Hunt," directed by Ash Tata Starring Hirona Amamiya (voice, violin), Christiana Cole (voice, ukulele) and Brett Umlauf (voice, ukulele)
Language	English
Synopsis	The Hunt Program Note Three virgins sit in a meadow, whiling the time away with songs, riddles, and livestream updates as they await the appearance of the majestic unicorn. Rumor has it that this animal can only be subdued in the presence of pure maidens...but the weeks are dragging on, the court is getting antsy, and the king is threatening dire measures to verify the purity of his employees. The Hunt reclaims a well- worn medieval legend to interrogate the contemporary obsession with regulating and restricting female sexuality, the consequences for gender deviance, the value of beauty and the price of safety – all while captivating the audience with music that beguiles, provokes, and ultimately triumphs.
Technical requirements	Ideally, the vocalist will self-accompany on ukulele (intermediate part). If this is not possible, the ukulele may be played by a separate performer. The vocalist can use a full score for performance; a vocal-only part is available upon request from the publisher. The ukulele part may be played on Renaissance guitar. The vocalist may be a soprano or a mezzo-soprano (range: B3 – F#5). The ukulele may be amplified for balance.
