Mosheh: A VideOpera
January 26 - February 5, 2011
All arts converge in this stunning original opera that traces the formation of the legendary figure Moses. Four female figures are brought to the forefront of the Biblical story: the women who nurtured and protected him from birth. Otherworldly costumes and saturated video projection surround the five vocalists, single actor and nine-piece orchestra, who realize the intensity and fervor of Gal’s composition.
Mosheh is the mythic tale of Moses, reimagined as a contemporary urban hallucination.
Mosheh was originally commissioned by Kaufman Center – Merkin Concert Hall with generous support from Denise Simon, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Funded in part through Meet The Composer’s MetLife Creative Connections program.
