Come join Paradox Opera for a delightful evening of music about your favorite cute, questionable, and/or fictional critters! Whether you’re an art-song aficionado or an adorable animal appreciator, listeners of all ages will enjoy this program of fauna-focused songs (primarily in English!) performed by soprano Alissa Roca, baritone Gwen Hyland, and pianist Daniel Seyfried. The program includes whimsical settings of Lewis Carroll poems, a bestiary song cycle by Jeffery Beam and Steven Sérpa, and selected songs by Ned Rorem, John Duke, Darius Milhaud, and more! The evening will also include the world premiere of “Everything What’s Wrong of Possums”, a humorously unhinged song cycle with text by Daniel Lavery and music by Patricia Wallinga.
$25 early-bird tickets can be purchased on our website at paradoxopera.org/creatures, with the option to add a custom vinyl sticker set for $15! Admission will be $35 at the door, so reserve your tickets now to get the best deal!
