It was scandalous in 411 B.C.: Aristophanes imagined a woman, Lysistrata, who was so fed up with constant war that she convinces noble women to withhold sex in order to get their warrior husbands to stop fighting. That play inspired the 2005 opera Lysistrata, or The Nude Goddess, which hits the stage at the Ace Hotel with us this summer. Don’t miss this empowering story to discover if all really is fair in love and war.
