Tapestry presents workshop performances of the 2nd act of my opera in development, The Enslavement and Liberation of Oksana G.
June 11 & 12, 2012
From the Tapestry website:
“Sung in Ukrainian, Russian and English, this opera vérité with prologue and epilogue uses non-operatic music from various cultures to enhance the composed score and drama. The tragic ménage à trois is a topic as ancient as Greek drama, but in Oksana G. it takes on a life as immediate as today’s headlines, yet honours the ingredients common to all great operas: universality, timelessness and high emotion.”
8:00pm, Ernest Balmer Studio
55 Mill Street

Tickets: $25/$20
