Opera in Flight

operamission will present an evening of one-acts, scenes, and instrumental music new and not so new on April 2 and 3, 2010. My contribution to the evening's festivities will be my one-act opera Anniversary, originally penned in 2003. Full details on the operamission.org website.

This stellar line-up will occur in operamission's favorite venue, the lobby of the Gershwin Hotel. Don't think a hotel lobby is a good place for opera? Well, think again. This venue is quickly becoming one of New York's hot spots for jazz and performance art. So why not a little bit of the original performance art, opera?

The stunning image to your right is by Kate Burns and created especially for this performance.
