Power, passion, and poise define the women at the heart of this season's operatic journey—heroines who defy the roles society has written for them and instead compose their own destinies. Through the glittering façade of the masquerade, they navigate a world where love is bartered, reputations are fragile, and identity must be both shielded and revealed.
