We are selecting performers for the following roles:

 

Showcase of New Vocal Chamber Music

Self Defined Circuits

June 4-6, 2019

World premiere of a new opera by Jillian Flexner, words by Orlando Segarra. Stage Direction by Be Goodwin, Music Direction by Whitney George

 

Newly created, a sex robot, tries to find out what it means to be a woman while trapped in a world created by her programmer, Pete, and his "Siri" device, Cora. Inspired in part by the true story of a man creating a Scarlett Johansson robot, and the composer's own experiences in an abusive relationship during her formative years, this opera explores the idea of "womanhood" through the lens of someone new to the world, struggling in a world created by man.

 

We are selecting three singers for three parts: Pete, baritone; Cora I, soprano; Cora II, mezzo soprano. Note: Cora is one character sung by two vocalists. This is a fully staged production. Compensation between $250 - 400.
