S03E02: Heart of a Dog Revisited
In June Guerilla Opera will revisit one of our favorite productions, the Heart of a Dog 2010 revival production directed by Copeland Woodruff. In anticipation of our watch party, ensemble pianist Tae Kim interviews composer Rudolf Rojahn and percussionist Mike Williams, both co-founding artists and former co-artistic directors of Guerilla Opera.
Heart of a Dog was the first opera written for Guerilla Opera, premiered in 2007. The creative and innovative 2010 production took Guerilla Opera to the next level and put us on the map as not only a musically exceptional group, but also theatrically adventurous.
