The painter Lili Elbe was the first person to have gender confirmation surgery in the 1930s. The homonymous opera is a glimpse into the life of Lili Elbe and her wife Gerda Wegener (also a famous painter) through Lili's transition at a time when such surgery was still completely uncharted territory.
Lili Elbe was directed by Meinrad Keel and Krystian Lada.
Lili Elbe runs for 2h 14min, and was released in 2023.
