Artbound Special Episode "Invisible Cities"

Artbound presents a one hour special focused on the avant-garde opera, "Invisible Cities." Produced by The Industry, L.A.'s experimental opera company, in partnership with the L.A. Dance Project, "Invisible Cities" depicts the meeting between emperor Kublai Khan at the end of his life with the explorer Marco Polo, as told in Italo Calvino's fantastical book. An innovative production staged in the iconic Union Station, the opera utilizes wireless technology provided by Sennheiser, offering audience members headphones to hear the opera amid the normal "hustle and bustle" of the train station's everyday life. "Invisible Cities" is composed and adapted by Christopher Cerrone, directed by The Industry's founder and artistic director Yuval Sharon, with choreography by Danielle Agami.

Fantastic documentary. Thanks KCET.
Mind blowing event - unfortunately it sold out before I could get tickets. Would love to see it return.

Same here! I'm not an opera person myself(more into musical theatre, with an emphasis on dense stylized/genre mixing compositions and thought engaging thematic scripts(likes of Leonard Bernstien, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weill, Marc Blitzstein, Jason Robert Brown, Lin Manuel Miranda, Dave Malloy, etc.), but I would die happy to have seen this once!

Interesting enough not to be experimental. Recreating experiences is in itself a space, no doubt about it. But so open within its own world that requitesto be timeless. And that...is quite difficult. Reminded me Einstein in the Beach. Grazzie.
