“Egypt's Nights is an opera composed by Leslie Savoy Burrs, based on the novel Egypt's Nights by Barbara Chase-Riboud. The opera depicts the strength and character of a woman, who explores her physical and spiritual relationships with the two men she loves, her interactions with the people she encounters as she travels abroad and the consequences of her independent nature. Her feelings and actions are represented in a musical dialogue between Marc Antony and Cleopatra.”
