The New Queen Opera

Magic Monster presents the album launch of Carisa Bianca Mellado's "The New Queen", performed in it's entirety to the official short films that accompany each song.

Over 7 years in the making, this classically influenced avant garde opera will finally be performed in its completed form by a full band, the only full performance since the project's 2006 inception. September 28, 2010 marks the grandiose performance which heralds the release of the official album and accompanying DVD, featuring the films that explore the albums themes of atrocity and beauty.

The performance will feature Carisa Bianca Mellado and The Divine Dryadic Choir, featuring Nora Keyes (The Centimeters, Fancy Space People) and Elle Haert as well as The Black Fae Orchestra, featuring Seth Styles, Loto Ball (Phantom Limbs, Mucca Pazza), Kimbo Calico, Ken Ramos and Melissa Pleckham (Black Lullabies).

The show will open with a very special, intimate performance by Gitane Demone and Rikk Agnew, who will be performing songs from Gitane Demone's hauntingly beautiful new album, "The Reflecting Shadow". This will be their first Los Angeles show together as a duo.
