GOYA | A Techno-Opera

Stay tuned for details on this exciting new work ... it's opera like you've never seen before!

neXt Company Theatre Co-Artistic Director David Fancy is collaborating with composer Lorne Altman (sound design for That Woman: Sex/Tragedy), Canadian soprano Helen Pridmore and choreographer Mazine Heppner (with Across Oceans) to develop a fusion of techno-music, club dance, and opera based on the life and work of Spanish painter Francisco Goya.

Featuring gogo dancers, highly virtuosic opera signing, onsite DJs, multiple projection screens, interactive technology, and a stunning light show, this event breaks disciplinary boundaries and gives you an operatic experience you're unlikely to forget.

With characters from Goya's paintings singing the world from their perspective, the audience is invited into the incrementally darker world of Goya's painting. Beginning with his portraits of aristocracy and finishing with his arresting images of corruption and war, Goya: a Techno-Opera, confronts us with the reality that a collective creative response may be the only asnwer to a world in decay.
