During this whole global pandemic, you guys heard about that, right, I am fortunate to work with some really amazing companies, like The Glimmerglass Festival to help and create some exciting, innovative programming. Above is a still from an animated fantasia on Richard Wagner’s Die Feen, that I am creating with my colleague, Blake Manns. Under the direction of Artistic and General Director Francesca Zambello, Blake and I are working with a fantastic team of people to bring this animation to the Glimmerglass Festival’s audience. Kelly Rourke wrote a condensed and thrilling script and score reduction along with GGF’s music director, Joseph Colaneri, who also conducted the animation. Ada is sung by Alexandria Shiner and Arindal by Ian Koziara, piano by Kirill Kuzmin, Sound design, mixing and editing by Joel Morain, and character design by costume designer Constance Hoffman.
Check it out September 3rd at 5:30pm.
Thanks to the generous support of Elizabeth M. and Jean-Marie R. Eveillard, Glimmerglass was able to commission a condensed, animated version of Die Feen.
