Two stories + one stellar debut
"Visitations" happens to be opera composer Jonathan Berger’s premiere of two one-act chamber operas all about auditory hallucinations. Talk about a mind boggler, right? Theotokia, the first installment, deals with a man’s mental illness while dancing between musical drama and philosophical thriller…and that’s just the beginning. The second piece, The War Reporter, is inspired by the real life story of a combat journalist haunted by the voice of a fallen American soldier. Opera’s never been so gripping.
General admission.
