Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Opera Saratoga, and the Bergamot Quartet join forces this October to present a workshop performance of THE OTHER SIDE OF SILENCE by librettists Mark Steidl and Katherine Skovira and composer Robert Whalen.  THE OTHER SIDE OF SILENCE is a new opera for synthetic and acoustic voices written by and for people who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication. The story draws direct inspiration from the life of Mark Steidl, a gender non-binary person who uses an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device to talk with the world.
