A shimmering cast of Bay Area artists joins forces with local composers to present two new short operas and a sprinkling of new songs and vocalise. Soprano Winnie Nieh, mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz, bass-baritone Sidney Chen, cellist Doug Machiz, and pianists Monica Chew and Chesley Mok perform the World Premieres of Earth Journeys—a tale about the planet and its inhabitants by Davide Verotta; The COVID Bake-Off—a story of baking, COVID, and revenge by Monica Chew and librettist Sandra Flores-Strand; and new songs and vocalise by S. A. Workman. All composers will be present and happy to field questions after the concert.
