Paris, 1692. Two sopranos. One role. And a duel that everyone agrees is impossible — until it isn’t. When the Académie Royale de Musique commissions a new opera, the rivalry between Isabelle Marchant and Claire Voss escalates from professional to something far more dangerous, and far more tender. The Opera Singer’s Duel is a queer historical comedy in three parts, set at the glittering, cutthroat heart of the French Baroque.
