Galaxies In Her Eyes was conceived by a nationally recognized team of opera professionals for workshop and debut at the High Point University Culp Planetarium. It tells the story of a young girl named Eden in the 1960s who dreams of going to the stars, despite being told women can't be astronauts. Defiantly, she imaginatively weaves together the stories of Annie Jump Cannon, Katherine Johnson, and Ada Lovelace, whose work will help make that journey possible. Across time and space the women work together to convince her that her innate creativity and determination will help her on her journey. Eden discovers a sisterhood of science which is defined by collaboration, perseverance, a fascination with the unknown - and the importance of doing your math homework!
