World Premiere Chamber Opera

OURLAND: A Dystopian State is a new opera composed by Paul Davies with a libretto by Daniel Helfgot, set in an imaginary country where many of today’s societies can easily find themselves reflected. Following in the long tradition of opera as relevant social commentary, OURLAND tackles the subject of the consequences of bigotry, suspicion, and hate of the foreigner, the other. Mexican-American composer Paul Davies and Argentine-American librettist Daniel Helfgot bring their respective extensive backgrounds to the crafting of this intense cautionary tale heightened by lyrical, descriptive music.
