Death Of Don Juan, The

Synopsis:
This production is the premiere performance of a new work including a state-of-the-art electronic orchestra score (2010-11), new libretto and imagery, and new staging with interactive video. the theme of the piece is a reinterpretation of the myth - a Spanish legend that has fascinated poets and composers for centuries - in a timeless and genderless framework, looking at the Don Juan archetype from the point of view of a modern woman. Who is Don Juan? In the original story, and in Mozart's Don Giovanni, Don Juan is a heartless seducer, but in Byron's Don Juan and Shaw's Don Juan in Hellfrom Man and Superman, there are somewhat mysogynist attempts to defend Don Juan. In this piece, Don Juan is a revolutionary anti-hero seeking freedom from social rules, love for its own sake, adventure. He is also selfish, ruthless, sarcastic, and devoid of ethics or spiritual values, but he evolves.

Two-Cents Opera, The

Synopsis:
the Two-Cents Opera is about creative survival in an insecure world. What does it take to compose in the present context, when it seems that everything conspires to prevent it and where everything else seems more important? What kind of faith does it take to actually do it?. . .and is that possibly insane? In the Two-Cents Opera, the composer relates to the experience of writing an opera as an adventure in the absurd. autobiographical slices of reality are weaved in with surreal elements, from a twice-removed perspective that never lacks humor. the composer is surrounded with characters from her life: an eccentric Friend, Shrink Number 8, a Clairvoyant, and characters from her own imagination: the Young Beethoven, and the Trickster, a playful demon. they participate in her endeavor to overcome writing blocks and other obstacles of a material nature. the new opera will not solve world problems, as the composer is painfully aware-but it may enhance our experience, if only for a brief moment. But the truth is, the joy is in the work
