Rock Opera

My super talented friend Amelia Winger-Bearskin has created a rock opera that will premier this month in Austin, where she is finishing her MFA in performance art. Think David Bowie and Pink Floyd except that this rock opera was written by an artist who also happens to be an excellent musician (Amelia was trained as an opera singer at Eastman!), rather than by rockstars who are excellent musicians. In addition to writing the music, Amelia also sewed the costumes and painted the sets!

Look here for more about Amelia's work. She's becoming an internationally-known video and performance artist.
