THE OPERA SHOP
September 30 + October 1, 2011, 8p
seating is limited!
Opera Cabal invites you to two private, preview performances of our brand spanking new project series! The Opera Shop is a vehicle dedicated to the radical critique of opera in the 21st century. Beginning this September, and each fall thereafter, Opera Shop turns the spotlight on 2-3 exceptional artists with a history of working together in fields traditionally unrelated to opera. Under the guidance of Opera Cabal, each team will embark on an intense, month-long collaborative residency, bringing their unique strengths to bear in the creation of a compelling and intellectually charged new work for the stage.
This September, Opera Cabal invites video designer, producer, composer and all-around technical whiz Alexander Overington to collaborate with virtuoso cellist and singer, Teddy Rankin-Parker. Overington and Rankin-Parker first established a reputation when they toured as the opening act for Grammy Award-winning ensemble, eighth blackbird. Opera is premised at the meeting of complementary but different art forms: Overingtonʼs hyper-digitization collides with Rankin-Parkerʼs improvisatory daring in a work of truly operatic proportions.
Opera Cabal is thrilled to partner on this project with High Concept Laboratories, a Chicago-based interdisciplinary platform and nonprofit arts service organization. HCL will serve as Opera Shop residency partner by coordinating artist incubation and showings. highconceptlaboratories.org
