Past Productions

Welcome, friend. Take a spin through some of my past productions to get a sense of how I do what I do.

The Harbingers

There's a lot to unpack about this show - the trials of working in the confines (and lack of boundaries) of singer-produced opera, the difficulty of unaccompanied/a capella opera, and deciding on a storytelling ethos for a show with characters drawn from world mythology and religion.

Chicago Currents

#operamentary - presenting art song, opera, or classical vocal programming leveraging storytelling paradigms found in documentary filmmaking.

Redención

Redención is a beautiful and intimate examination of two people in very different circumstances, who share more than meets the eye.

Tosca

With Ouroboros Opera, we presented Puccini's Tosca as a post-modern staged concert with Mario Cavaradossi reimagined as a woman.
