Oceanic Verses

River to River Festival. Familiar to savvy New York operagoers through a series of high-profile workshop performances (including New York City Opera's VOX), Paola Prestini's luminous multimedia opera has its full-length premiere hot on the heels of its Kennedy Center debut. Mounted by Beth Morrison Projects along with Washington Chorus and Trinity Wall Street, this dreamlike creation centers on four disparate characters in search of the past, in ways both personal and universal.
