| Patricia Schuman as the Duchess of Argyll in 'Powder Her Face' |
The life of Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll is still a richly scandalous story, a tale of a wealthy, married royal (to the future Duke of Argyll) whose Polaroid photos surfaced showing her wearing only pearls while performing sex acts on men who weren’t her husband. Composer Thomas Adès and writer Philip Hensher took the bold step then when they crafted an opera around the provocative story of “the Dirty Duchess” that rocked Britain’s aristocracy. That composition, Powder Her Face just ended it run as part of the Opera Philadelphia Aurora Series for Chamber Opera at the Perelman Theater.
