Opera in Orbit - Family Opera Initiative's Summer Opera Bash

Based on an extraordinary picture book for all ages by Umberto Eco and Eugenio Carmi, Three Astronauts is a moving and thoughtful metaphor about enemies, friendships and alliances between and among people, nations and alternative universes. These "opera-musicals" are accessible. They embrace an indigenous vernacular energy; they burst forth in our own American-ness; and they resonate with our own language(s). Family Opera Initiative is a not-for-profit company created to bring the opera experience to widely diverse audiences.
