Two years of collaboration between composers and performers at UC San Diego and Stanford University have resulted in The Voice Machine, a four-part performance that seeks to address the questions of what opera is and what is required for its creation.
The Voice Machine features four new works by Constantin Basica, Alexandra Hay, Jessie Marino and Caroline Miller. Sopranos Hillary Jean Young, Ashley Cutright and Kirsten Wiest, baritone Jonathan Nussman and pianist Kyle Adam Blair will perform the works as part of UC San Diego’s kallisti ensemble. Featuring lighting design by Jessica C. Flores and technical direction by Jason Ponce, the opera will premiere on Friday, October 7 at the Conrad Prebys Music Center Experimental Theater and return on Saturday, October 8 before traveling to Stanford University for performances on October 16 and 17.
The Voice Machine features the following works:
- Knot an Opera by Constantin Basica
- How to Survive a 100-Hour Workweek by Caroline Miller
- Experiments in Opera II by Jessie Marino
- Metanoia by Alexandra Hay
