World Premiere of Shelter
November 15-18, 2012
Co-produced with Tapestry New OperaCo-presented by U of A's Festival of Ideas
Shelter: a nuclear family adrift in the atomic age. Since Prometheus stole fire from the Gods, we have flirted with the dangerous beauty of science. In the invisible shadow of Fukushima, how will we survive when knowledge so outstrips understanding?
In this fable a father protects his family at any cost, a mother chases storms, and a nuclear physicist is midwife to a child who glows in the dark… When the dashing Pilot enters, our world is forever altered.
Ana Sololovic

The night before a wedding, girlfriends prepare the bride-to-be in a ravishing and cathartic Balkan rite of passage. An intoxicating a cappella tour de force for six female opera singers, sung in Serbian with English surtitles, by Ana Sokolovic (The Midnight Court).
