It's new.  It's improvised.  And it's an experience you won't forget.  The Discord Altar will touch your heart and inspire you.  It could even change the world.

Collaborating with Fugitive Kind Theater, this project from OperaWorks is part of their new series designed to use the arts to address important social issues, and to inspire real change.

The show stars classically-trained singers Babatunde Akinboboye, Julia Aks, James Hayden, Anjelica McRae, Laura Parker, Vincent Robles, Alina Roitstein, and Annie Sherman, who develop the libretto and improvise the opera anew for each performance.  Each show is followed by a short talk-back session with representatives from local homeless shelters and advocates.  This is a unique opportunity to learn more about the realities of homelessness, set aside stereotypes and gain a deeper understanding of the daily state of being for so many people of all ages and backgrounds.
