Kallisti Chamber Opera
Russell Lane at Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free - $15.50
Sino alla morte, Kallisti's fifth chamber opera will be presented at the Experimental Theater. A "constructed opera," the hour-long fully staged production juxtaposes music by two Italian composers: Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677) and Salvatore Sciarrino (1947-). Although separated by hundreds of years, each has written vocal music of profound expressivity and intense beauty. Kallisti draws its singers from the graduate program in Contemporary Music Performance at UC San Diego and distinguished guest artists. UCSD Professor of Music Susan Narucki directs the production, with guest music director Stephen Lewis.
