Immersive Opera No One Is Forgotten is set to release across streaming platforms this September!
Commissioned by The Dallas Opera, Emitha Lexicon Classics and Eve Gigliotti, Mezzo-soprano
One of the goals of this project was to see how we could create a work using #cross-collaborative storytelling using #innovative formats.
In this case, marrying #theater and #opera together
Take a listen to playwright/librettist Winter Miller describe the concept and dynamics of this marriage.
Huge thanks to one and only Kathleen Chalfant (the legend who is not on socials) and the breathtaking @bkmeels for entering our operatic world and playing in our sandbox.
No One Is Forgotten is the first opera to be designed exclusively for your headphones. A ‘radio play meets opera’ (theater opera podcast, portable opera) with foley, actors, singers, cello and underscoring ENTIRELY in immersive audio/Dolby Atmos surround sound.
