Caravaggio Chiaroscuro

Synopsis:
Caravaggio Chiaroscuro is a new one-act opera which presents Caravaggio's Roman life and his struggles as a young artist. Caravaggio was one of the great painters of the Italian Renaissance and his work, though highly regarded, was censored. He painted saints and holy subjects, but used the 'street' poor-marginal and common people he encountered in the piazze of Rome-as models for his paintings. Caravaggio is twenty years old when he arrives to Rome, capital of the Arts, with the dream of becoming an acclaimed painter. During his first years in Rome, he struggles to survive. Hanging out in Piazza Navona and Campo De Fiori, he meets other struggling artists including Mario, who becomes his lover, and Longhi, who becomes his faithful friend. He also meets Cardinal Del Monte, ambassador of the King of France in Rome, who will be fundamental in Caravaggio's career as his Roman patron

I Fioretti In Musica--Opera In DANZa

Synopsis:
I Fioretti in Musica - Opera in Danza (Little Flowers in Music, an Opera in Dance) is an original opera with concept, libretto, direction and sets by Gian Marco Lo Forte and an acoustic score for five voices composed by Sasha Zamler-Carhart juxtaposed with an electronic score consisting of fixed electro-acoustic sound and live vocal processing by Ryan Carter. the piece is based on the miracles of St. Francis immortalized in the 14th-century book of poems, I Fioretti Di San Francesco, and is performed in Italian with english subtitles. the opera imagines St. Francis living homeless today in New York City, seeing treasures in the trash, speaking words of compassion to all he meets, and championing the values of peace and brotherly love. the action is staged with puppets made of recycled materials from the streets, brought to life by dancers and singers who, in the style of Commedia Harmonica, perform in concerto. the opera adapts four episodes from the legend of the saint that depict his miracles and significant events of his life: assuming a Life of Simplicity, Preaching to the Birds, Taming a Wolf, and Welcoming Thieves to the Monastery. the audience sits in close proximity to the performers' action, generating an intimate opera experience.
