Founded in 2019, Alter Ego Chamber Opera aims to reimagine the classical music canon with an emphasis on queer and contemporary glosses on timeless works. This adaptation of Handel’s Baroque masterwork marries traditional ornamentation with an ‘80s electronica aesthetic, and in keeping with the travesti (and glam rock) tradition, you can expect some gender-bending. In addition to in-person performances on Sept. 24 and 26, a livestream version will be available for those preferring to watch remotely.
Casting includes a diverse group of incredible professional opera singer-actors, and staging draws upon devised theatre techniques to create a production that is raw, intimate, and unlike any other.
