Often full of drunken rage, the Medium has for years cashed in on the miseries and tragedies of her clients by organising staged spiritualism sessions together with her daughter and a mute boy servant. One day, the sessions take a new direction, as the Medium feels a set of hands strangling her and hears voices that should not be there. What will happen when the ingeniously built performance comes tumbling down?
A short opera conducted by Gian Carlo Menotti tells about a Medium, who has for years cashed in on the miseries and tragedies of her clients by organising staged spiritualism sessions.
