IMMERSIVE & SILENT OPERAS

IMMERSIVE & SILENT OPERAS
What are they? Operas that move through and activate spaces through sound, movement and acoustics. Silent operas feature the use of a transmitter and wireless headphones so that the audience can follow performers as they roam from the stationary chamber ensemble. My first silent opera was the, The War Bride, which followed a WWII bride from Britain as she faces new challenges as an immigrant in the USA in the 1940’s. The opera comes full circle to the present day with immigration as a focus at the Rio Grande border in Texas. My second silent opera was, A Dream is a Dream is a Dream is a Dream…, that created fictional dialogue between giants in the pop art movement and surrealist movement, featuring Pablo Picasso, David Hockney, Gertrude Stein, Igor Stravinsky, Coco Chanel and more.
