Opera erratica email format

Everything is Opera. A harpsichord in a basement bar. Smoke machines and flashlights. A classical voice over fractured images. Shadows on a brick wall. A blinking cursor, a naked torso, the clear voice of a soprano, dance, music, text, video. Opera Erratica is a multi-disciplinary company that creates thrilling, genre-crossing performances, from avant-garde stagings of classical opera to original sci-fi rock-ballets. For us, opera is an idea and an ideal—a departure point for creating work that is formally complex and emotionally present. Opera is a place where genres and styles blur. It is a horizon of possibility, a thin margin between reality and illusion, an old form imbued with new meaning. Innovation Through Collaboration. At their core, Opera Erratica projects are about collaboration. Each project can involve artists from many different media, be they actors, dancers, singers, video artists, classical musicians or indie rockers. Working together across genres, we create theatrical experiences that are at once familiar and strange. Thinking of performance in this way allows new perspectives on old traditions and challenges the audience to see differently. Whether it is an original work, or the re-imagining a hundred-year-old piece of music, the goal of an Opera Erratica production is to stimulate the senses, challenge the mind and touch the soul.
