New Oklahoma Operas
by Opera on Tap OKC
This show will feature three recently commissioned short operas from Opera on Tap's 10-Minute Opera festival. Each work presents a diverse, eccentric theme through powerful vocals and expressive acting. Prather’s opera features an optimistic, eager journalist alongside her misogynist boss. This relevant exposé provides the perspective of a woman mistreated in the workplace and was originally written during the height of the #metoo movement. Van Horn’s opera is a comedic re-telling of Alice at the Tea Party. Finally, Broyles’ Conveyance tells the story of two best friends, who co-pilot a freighter in a distant star system. All is well until a single conversation makes them doubt each other.
