INFO + TICKETS
This experimental opera company describes itself as "fun and fearless" -- and that's what I think, too. I've never seen them put something on that wasn't just challenging and thought-provoking, but immensely enjoyable as well. This show features four new chamber operas for voice and modular synthesizer. It sure doesn't hurt that one of the voices (and composer as well) is the redoubtable Joan La Barbara. Or that one of the other composers (and singer as well) is List fave Kamala Sankaram.
