ABOUT KATIE: THE STRONGEST OF THE STRONG:
HGO’s 2023-2024 Opera to Go! is the company-commissioned opera Katie: the Strongest of the Strong, by composer Faye Chiao and librettist Anton Dudley. The opera made its digital world premiere in 2020. The 45-minute opera celebrates women’s strength and confidence through the inspiring true story of protagonist Katie Sandwina, a circus strongwoman who defied expectations and went on to help lead the U.S. suffrage movement in the early 1900s.

Like the story of Esther, The Strongest of the Strong illuminates a remarkable woman from the darkness of history. Katie was married to a Jewish man, raised her kids Jewish and is buried in a Jewish cemetery.
