Here Be Sirens (2014) is an experimental opera by Pulitzer Prize- finalist Kate Soper. Set on a Mediterranean island in the pre-archaic Greek past and the post-apocalyptic US future, the opera follows three Sirens (Polyxo, Peitho, and Phaino) caught in a purgatorial state, destined to lure sailors to their deaths for eternity. Desperate to break the cycle, Polyxo tries to determine how the Sirens came to be.
