Stopes’s book “Married Love” was a sensation after its publication in 1918. It sold 2,000 copies in the first two weeks
MARIE STOPES’S marriage to Reginald Ruggles Gates was not a long or a happy one. In 1912, a year after their wedding, she sought legal advice; a year after that, she filed for divorce, claiming that the union had never been consummated. As she instigated divorce proceedings, Stopes decided to reflect on what she had learned from the sorry affair.
“Dear Marie Stopes”, a new chamber opera, opens with spoken recordings of snippets of these letters. A soprano, contralto and countertenor—ie, two female singers and one male—give voice to others. A woman asks for Stopes’s advice: she has had 14 children, and her doctor has said that if she has another her weak heart will give out. A man laments a problem with premature ejaculation.
