International Opera Projects: As One
INTERNATIONAL OPERA PROJECTS in association with AMERICAN OPERA PROJECTS and by arrangement with BILL HOLAB MUSIC present AS ONE
A chamber opera for two voices and string quartet
Music and Concept: Laura Kaminsky
Libretto: Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed
Film: Kimberly Reed
As One is a brave new work in which two voices - Hannah after (mezzo-soprano) and Hannah before (baritone) - share the part of a sole transgender protagonist. Fifteen songs comprise the three-part narrative; with empathy and humor, they trace Hannahs experiences from her youth in a small town to her college years on the West Coast, and finally to Norway where she is surprised at what she learns about herself. As One was commissioned and produced by American Opera
Projects and premiered at The Brooklyn Academy of Music in September 2014. International Opera
Projects is very proud to present its European premiere in Berlin.
A piece that haunts and challenges with questions about identity, authenticity, compassion and the human desire for self-love and peace.Opera News; As One is everything that we hope for in contemporary opera: topical, poignant, daring, and beautifully written.New York Classical Review; As One forces you to think, simultaneously challenging preconceptions and inspiring empathy with winning humor and a satisfying emotional arc.The New York Times
