Did I escape, I wonder... A chamber opera in three parts
Saturday, November 19, 2011 at Cube Gallery
Event Information
On November 19th, Ottawa’s intimate Cube Gallery (1285 Wellington St W) will host two singers, six instrumentalists and atmospheric video projections to bring to life this performance which combines the best of chamber music, alternative theatre, tragic opera and performance art.
In a contemporary telling and healing of the Medusa myth, the politics and place of human relationships are hurled onto the stage for operatic examination in this sizzling ball of raw musical gesture and emotion where Debussy meets David Lynch. The roster of performers – many of which are rising stars in the Ottawa and Montreal contemporary music communities – should not be missed. This show is sure to leave audiences lusting for more sultry operas by these young Canadian composers and the Ottawa New Music Creators.
Limited seating available; be sure to book early to avoid disappointment.
