Shanewis

Shanewis

Shanewis (or The Robin Woman) is an opera in one act by Charles Wakefield Cadman with an english libretto by Nelle Richmond Eberhart. Although originally performed under the title "Shanewis", the vocal score was published under the title "The Robin Woman (Shanewis)". The opera was first performed on March 23, 1918 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Shanewis was performed eight times in two seasons at the Metropolitan Opera. It was the first American opera to be presented there in more than a single season. The opera was later performed in Denver in 1924 and Los Angeles in 1926. At the Denver performance of 1924, the title role was performed by soprano Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone, who provided the semi-autobiographical story of the opera, in her operatic debut.
