Better Gods is an hour-long contemporary opera created by composer Luna Pearl Woolf and librettist Caitlin Vincent. The work explores Hawaii’s annexation and Queen Lili’uokalani, weaving traditional Hawaiian instruments and authentic cultural elements into a modern operatic narrative. The piece premiered in January 2016 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, produced by Washington National Opera as part of the American Opera Initiative (AOI).
