Overtone Industries: New Opera in Los Angeles Meetup Group

Directed by O-Lan Jones and music directed by Fahad Siadat, Original Vision IV: the Deeps include scenes from operas in development by Brian Gyamfi & Collin Kemeny, Ruth Margraff & Richard Marriot, and Pedro Pascoali.

Featured musicians include Molly Pease, Scott Graff, Chohi Kim, Kion Heidari, and Brightwork newmusic.

A panel discussion will follow. Works showcased include:
The Ants are Illuminated by Brian Gyamfi & Collin Kemeny is an opera about a group of spirits connecting with a street performer in Los Angeles. They find themselves locked in a city of capitalism, dependent on Calypso, a street magician who wants to use her magic to help them return home.

The Fishermen by Pedro Pascoali features two very different, very hungry fishermen friends. They are visited by a Creature bringing unexpected abundance.

BAYAHA (danger) by Ruth Margraff & Richard Marriot is a new myth about two sisters who have drifted apart as glaciers melt, one to the South and one to the North—and a wayfarer who descends to the depths to comb the sister’s hair free of the pollution that has gathered in it.
