SISYPHUS

There’s more to the myth of Sisyphus than a man pushing a boulder up a hill. In this new, collaboratively-composed evening-length opera, the famous story is twisted, pulled apart, and reassembled in a collage of characters, genres and questions.

Sisyphus features texts and music by the three founders of Experiments in Opera: Jason Cady, Aaron Siegel, and Matthew Welch and is being developed in partnership with the director Ethan Heard and the designer Kristen Robinson.

Length: 60 mins
Orchestration: Soprano, Mezzo Soprano, Tenor, Vibraphone, Cello, Bass and Modular Synthesizer
Date:  2015
