Scenes from House of Legendary: A work-in-process event

In association with Seagle Festival’s American Center for New Works Development, AOP will present Scenes from House of Legendary: A work-in-progress event . Live and Livestreamed from the Oscar Seagle Memorial Theater, the event will include excerpts from the opera, conversation, and an audience Q&A.

Discover Spring Street, a world premiere opera film.

A wildly eclectic opera film with musical styles from Baroque to 80’s disco. Three characters live in the same apartment block on Spring Street. A reluctant and resentful performer; a longtime resident, both wise and sad; a young and optimistic woman, excited about the city and its possibilities.

Adrienne Danrich invites us into her home for the fourth, and final, episode of Music as the Message, entitled SING TOGETHER, CHILDREN!, featuring an array of multi-genre songs, poems, prayers and hymns, and presented in honor of Juneteenth.

Complementing your trip down memory lane will be local historian Ron Janoff, historical images as well as songs inspired by each location, sung by contralto Nicole Mitchell.
