Saint Louis hosted an opera collective in which the company produces and promotes new works. I decided to check it out last night (3/15/24) when three such productions were presented at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center.
The evening was a delightful ride through emotional life experiences that were entertaining and thought provoking. Unbroken: A family manages the loss and birth (circle of life), Mechanisms: another family revolves around a child that is struggling in school and finally On My Mind: two womnen of color connect at a conference (through micro-aggression and comic drama around "networking" and friendship).
Bravo to Crew, Orchestra, Opera Theatre Leadership, New Works Collective Leadership. A special shout out to Libretto by Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton and Music by Jasmine Barnes. (That choreography, music and performance around NETWORKING was something special.)
