Opera

The Funeral of Elena Young (2024)

An original dramatic comedy about a matriarch's funeral; scored for 5 strings and 4 singers.

Composition in progress.

Project Aperture (2014)

An original opera with minor fantasy and steampunk elements; scored for full orchestra, 8 leads, and small ensemble.

Project Aperture chronicles the final days of an authoritarian regime, the pyrrhic victory of a vengeful inventor, the struggles of a rebel leader, a dispirited brother of the holy word, and a rogue detective intent on resolving the murder of a young woman. Ancient relics, demonic pacts, a murderous automaton, and a gateway to the realm of the angels.
