Info:
Episode 7 ("Dismal Pure Inane") of composer Lisa Bielawa's serial opera Vireo: The Spiritual Biography of a Witch's Accuser will be shot in downtown LA. A studio audience is invited to go behind the scenes by attending the shoot's open-to-the-public session from 4:30-6pm (limited availability, free admission, RSVP required). Vireo is the winner of the 2015 ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Multimedia Award, and was recently awarded a prestigious MAP Fund Grant for 2016 through Grand Central Art Center.
The new opera considers the nature and uses of female hysteria through time, as witch-hunters, early psychiatrists, and modern artists variously define the condition. It is composed by Lisa Bielawa on a libretto by Erik Ehn and directed by Charles Otte, which is unprecedented in that it is being created expressly for episodic release via broadcast and online media. In addition to the core cast, Vireo's Episode 7 features the virtuosic Prism Saxophone Quartet and Partch, an LA-based ensemble featuring the eccentric microtonal instruments created by Northern California icon, outsider artist and composer/instrument builder, Harry Partch.
