A Multi-Disciplinary Ensemble
SINGERS | INSTRUMENTALISTS | DESIGNERS
Music and theater-makers together!
We are the premier rock band of opera! We began as a new music ensemble that performs opera-theater works by our commissioned composers.
Our method of performance turns the stereotypical focus from the solo artist, to the whole band in conductor-less performances, which makes us unique in the field of opera. This distinct performance practice can only be achieved by a group of artists working together over time.
As we evolved and our productions become more complex, our ensemble grew to include resident designers that give our productions their unique and scrappy look.
