Let’s Talk Opera
Friday, December 27, 5 p.m., in the Hermitage Palm House
Registration is required at www.HermitageArtistRetreat.org.
Is opera having a comeback? How does the contemporary opera differ from opera of the past? Where are the hottest operas being produced and performed? Who is the audience? What are the dramatic themes of current opera? What is opera’s future? Engage in conversation with contemporary opera creators Laura Kaminsky, composer, and Kimberly Reed, librettist/filmmaker. They wrote the opera, “As One,” the most-produced modern opera in America, with Hermitage Fellow Mark Campbell. Video opera scenes will bookend the discussion.
