About this Event
We're pleased to announce as artists in residence this fall at 836M. In advance of the world premiere of Hello, Star, a family-friendly opera celebrating curiosity, intergenerational connection and the contributions of Black women to science, the celebrated San Francisco-based company has partnered with 836M to offer a series of behind-the-scenes events inviting audiences to participate in the opera’s development.
Composed by Carla Lucero with a libretto by Jarrod Lee, Hello, Star is based on a book by Stephanie V.W. Lucianovic. The opera tells the story of a curious young girl, captivated by a call from a bright dying star. With her mother as guide, she worries she will not get to meet the star before it fades away. Will she allow her self-doubts and expectations of what should happen get the best of her, or will she achieve her goal and see possibilities beyond her wildest dreams? This 50-minute, one-act production is part of Opera Paralèlle’s “Hands-On-Opera” community engagement program.
The following events are part of Opera Parallèle’s upcoming public engagements, all free to attend, during their residency at 836M.
