The United States premiere of Besse is a short opera about the figure of a female brewer in the XIV century.

Come hoist a mug of locally-brewed beer to benefit Skylark on October 11th, 2022 at Fat Pants Brewing Company in Eden Prairie. The fun begins at 5:30pm. If you love opera and all things opera this will be the event for you. Don’t know much about opera? Don’t worry--this will still be the event for you! Grab your friends and come join us. There will be beer (and non-alcoholic beverages, too), lots of fun and games, and some opera thrown in. Skylark will present England-based Infinite Opera’s mini-opera, Besse, about a 14th century English female brewer, in its very first performance on this side of the pond. Come hear Besse’s story, filled with witchcraft and science, murder and mayhem, and, of course, making beer! All of that in three short, highly entertaining vignettes with plenty of time to socialize in-between.

Created by Infinite Opera in the United Kingdom, Besse, for the first time merges the world of opera and beer through the unique vision of a character that champions feminism through fermentation.
