About Face— an opera experience
Time: 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (two performances)
Location: Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek, CA

Festival Opera presents About Face — an opera experience, designed to increase awareness of a widespread but little-known medical condition, facial paralysis. Centered on a performance of Henry Mollicone's chamber opera, The Face On the Barroom Floor, the evening incorporates theater, interactivity, and opera. Soprano Heidi Moss, who lives with one form of facial paralysis, will perform with tenor Thomas Glenn and baritone Eugene Brancoveanu. The composer, also known for his opera Emperor Norton, will accompany. Don't miss this unique, thought-provoking presentation. Watch for additional details as they become available.
The Emperor of Atlantis: A Legend in Four Scenes
Time: TBA
Location: TBA
Cost: TBA
Born in a Nazi concentration camp, The Emperor of Atlantis eventually cost its creators their lives. The work survived, however, and received its American premiere in San Francisco in 1977. Festival Opera is pleased to present a limited number of performances of this powerful 20th century parable. Stay tuned for dates, cast, and ticket information.
