Gonzo Opera from the Crypt: The Other Side of the Veil
MUSIC | THURSDAY–SUNDAY OCTOBER 31–November 3 | $20 ($10 for Students)
Gonzo Opera is Bringing “Operas from the Crypt” to FUSION | The Cell and is running October 31st–November 3rd! Come experience genuine opera but with wild and crazy characters and stories one would never expect to find in traditional opera!
What happens when the composer goes mad?? Remember those old Tales from the Crypt comic books so over-the-top you'd get arrested for giving them to kids today? Our new production Operas from the Crypt: The Other Side of the Veil is an homage to those old comics—creepy and funny at the same time. Written by librettist Jonathan David Dixon and Emmy-award-winning composer Daniel Steven Crafts this hour-long work features Thomas Griego (Grave Robber) Thomas Munro (Erik Ingels) Esther Moses (Marie) Megan Snow (Clarinet) Ronald Thurman (Bassoon) Scott Jacobsen (Keyboard) and Dan Haik (Music Director).
