Experiments in Opera

Join us for an extraordinary evening of innovative opera at Brooklyn Art Haus, located at 24 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, on May 30, 2024, at 7:30 pm. This event, titled "Crystal’s Channel Experiments In Opera," showcases the cutting-edge work of Experiments in Opera, a company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of opera through workshop performances of new works in development.

This season features two remarkable pieces:

1. **Crystal’s Channel**: Dive into the unique world of a solo singer, her ventriloquist doll, and guitar in an opera that blurs the lines between reality and artifice. This piece tells the humorous yet poignant tale of a songwriter who shares a new, original song on YouTube every day. Through her interactions with the dummy, we explore her journey of mastering ventriloquism during her adolescence and the dramatic turn of events when her obsession leads her mother to take her to an exorcist. This opera boasts the creative talents of Jason Cady (Libretto and Composition), Sarah Daniels (Soprano and Electric Guitar), and Shannon Sindelar (Direction), produced in association with Alter Ego Chamber Opera.

2. **Soul’s Unscreened**: Step into the future with the first act of an installation opera that delves into the life of a computer scientist during the Covid-19 pandemic. This narrative explores her development of groundbreaking AI technology and her attempts to upload her consciousness to the cloud. The opera features a rich tapestry of talent, including Roger A. Martinez (Composition and Electronics), Alize Francheska Rozsnyai (Libretto and Soprano), Tom Sitzler (Baritone), Kaitlyn Tierney (Mezzo-Soprano), and Sepehr Pirasteh (Conductor), alongside a skilled ensemble of musicians.
