Opera Praktikos (OPrak) presents an ambitious reworking of Bellini/Romani’s classic bel canto opera La Sonnambula - sung in the original Italian with ASL integrated into the story and the score. Spicer Carr's arrangement of Bellini’s music for chamber orchestra, in collaboration with Brandon Kazen-Maddox's integrated ASL in Romani’s libretto, creates an exciting revisioning of this canonical piece from a disability perspective, resulting in a deeply familiar yet wholly new work. OPrak's 90-minute abridgement asks universal questions of belonging, examining the complex relationship people with disabilities have with one another and with the community at large.
