Description: Semi-staged Opera-Cantata for SSAATTBB and standard orchestra. As part of New York City Opera's New Opera Readings, it garnered notice from the New York Times. Its conductor, Robert Bass of the Collegiate Chorale commissioned a choral piece directly afterwards, and the opera was produced by a joint production at Roulette, funded by private grants and donations. A shorter version is in progress, with chamber orchestra.
