Nearly 25 years American soprano Claron McFadden follows the path of the Opera, she has performed in La Scala, La Fenice, Covent Garden and many other scenes that confer world diva status. Claron is good at everything, but not blindly following established rules, so in 2012 she produced her first project, which tells the tragic story of Lilith. According to Judaic mythology Lilith is the first wife of Adam. She is also cited as having been „banished“ from the Garden of Eden for not complying with and obeying Adam and becomes a she-demon. The opera explores her relationship with Adam, as well as her father – God. In modern culture the character of Lilith has been associated with feminism and empowering of women. The performance has been played more than 30 times in the Netherlands and Belgium. 

The film was made in 2016 at the Varna State Opera RADAR Festival Beyond Music 2016. 

Duration 60 minutes followed by a 20 min. Q & A session after the screening.
