Opera Aficionado is an exciting, new suite of programs designed for patrons who are passionate about opera. Aficionado provides an opportunity to learn more, dive deeper, and get an inside look at the world of opera.
As part of Opera Aficionado, our Interactive Lectures Series gives opera-goers around the world a front-row seat to scholarly talks, allowing attendees to dialogue with fellow opera lovers, experts, and special guests. Each month will be focused on a concept or theme relevant to all of us.
Due to the interactive nature of this event, attendance is limited. Programs are subject to change.
Speaker: Composer Dr. Anne K. Hege
This talk invites you to explore the future of opera where instruments are designed using video game controllers, dancers morph into the orchestra, and the boundaries between sight, sound, scenery, and story are merged. Beginning with a short overview of the history of technology and electronics in opera, Dr. Anne K. Hegge will introduce exciting new adventures in contemporary opera including an in-depth discussion of her journey creating a new opera for laptop orchestra and live vocalists in collaboration with the Stanford Laptop Orchestra.
