Night of the Living Opera is an evening of creepy contemporary operas in English that are the perfect way to get in the mood for Spooky Season! Enter a world of witches, murderers, and artists gone mad in a nightlife venue with food and drinks.
Featuring:
Serial Killers and the City by Del’Shawn Taylor and Joanie Brittingham: in this parody of Sex and the City, a group of stylish girlfriends get together to swap stories about their latest murders over Bloody Mary’s and Charcuterie boards. But things get tense when FBI Agent Small unexpectedly joins them for brunch!
The Oval Portrait by Felix Jarrar: based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, a painter slowly falls into a drug-induced madness.
Thump! by Portland composer Kimberly Osberg: based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Gothic classic The Tell-Tale Heart, this psychodrama explores the psyche of a multifaceted narrator who has committed an unspeakable crime, as well as their relationship to their victim. A chilling tale of loss, resentment, and guilt.
she conjures by Portland composer Lisa Neher and Bea Goodwin: in this feminist tale of witches, crows, curses, revenge, and redemption, Grissall, the daughter of the last witch burned in Scotland, seeks justice with the help of her mother’s feathered familiar, Caraid. Scottish folk music infuses this mysterious and haunting story.
