Opera on Tap New Brew Presents: Berg, Butcher, Guerrero
Barbès
376 9th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11215 Map
The New Brew series brings you classical music written by some of today’s most exciting composers, presented in entertaining and irreverent programs by young singers and instrumentalists who relish the direct contact with audiences not inhibited in their reactions by the looming menace of giant chandeliers.
For this program, Christopher Berg, pianist extraordinaire, Alex Guerrero, tenor, and Kayleigh Butcher, mezzo soprano present a program of works by Aaron Copland, Kamala Sankaram, Florence Price, Alba Potes, Eleonora Rotshteyn, and Chen Yi!
Looking at You
HERE Arts Center
145 6th Ave
New York, NY 10013 Map
Nerds at Silicon Hills like to party. They’re in the middle of a celebration at their massive corporate headquarters when you join in the fun. As you order a free drink from the singing, computer-generated assistant built into your table, a swirl of operatic voices, EDM and crime jazz surrounds you. You are now inside a story of high-tech espionage and sultry romance where Edward Snowden meets Casablanca. Looking at You confronts surveillance capitalism and the erosion of individual privacy in a digitized world.
“Compelling drama, attractive music and a strikingly smart libretto. I’m excited to hear more, if ever offered the chance as a New Yorker!” –Opera News
“Kamala tackles the implications of digital privacy laws through an energetic, playful score and interactive multimedia which draw the audience into the discussion on a very personal level; Rob Handel’s delightfully nerdy libretto makes this a killer trifecta.” –WQXR
A HERE & Back Production, Co-Produced with Opera on Tap in association with Experiments in Opera
LOOKING AT YOU has received support from Opera America’s Discovery Grant Program, Opera America’s Commissioning Award Program, New England Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, Kevin Spacey Foundation, and the Puffin Foundation. Developmental support comes from BRIC, Opera on Tap, Anti-Social Music, and HERE. Technical support comes from Carnegie Mellon University Privacy Economics and Experiments Lab.
