feat. Kurt Rohde (musician/composer), Dana Spiotta (writer), and Marie Lorenz (artist) Why write a normal opera when you can write one for an outdoor performance on top of a polluted urban creek? Is it simple? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely. The creators of Newtown Odyssey, an actual floating opera, ask us to get our shoes a little dirty, let birds and machinery join the opera, and appreciate the horror and beauty of rainbow patterns of oil on the creek’s surface. They speak about the joys and challenges of collaborating with each other and their literal surroundings on unconventional work, and how they hope to help the efforts of the Newtown Creek Alliance.  THIS OPERA PREMIERES ON SEP 8-10 NEAR BROOKLYN, NY.
