Rogues and Scoundrels

Rethink the Recital

“Rogues and Scoundrels” is an interactive performance hybrid that takes the audience on a journey through some of classical music's most fascinating "bad boys." Combining classical music, theater, and the element of surprise, and performed in a non-traditional setting, “Rogues and Scoundrels” reimagines the traditional recital.

“Rogues and Scoundrels” was first performed in 2011 and like most traditional recitals, features a diverse classical music program, word-by-word translations, and an intimate musical journey. However, each musical section is presented in a creative, fresh vignette and performed in the round making the audience both spectator and participant.

“Rogues and Scoundrels” is designed for the classical vocal music connoisseur as well as people new to classical music. This fun, thought-provoking performance piece entertains as well as keeps the audience guessing.

Rethink the recital and expect the unexpected!

“Rogues and Scoundrels” can easily be staged in a variety of venues and changes its musical selections and staging ensure that each performance is a new site-specific experience.

Opera SIDEWAYS

“Opera Sideways” is a Three-Act concert that features top-notch opera singers in an evening of vocal beauty, imagination, and hilarity. The Audience is no mere passive force and takes part in the show from beginning to end. “Opera Sideways” premiered at NYC’s famed 54 Below and was a smashing success!

ACT I - The audience will experience traditional operatic arias performed, but with a slight twist.

ACT II - We get “Fach’ed Up” by showcasing our artists in repertoire outside of their normal voice type. The soprano sings the baritone role, the mezzo turns butch, and of course the tenor will probably end up swinging around a set of pearls.

ACT III - Imagine what happens when opera singers make up a story on the spot! Music meets Mad-Libs in this hilarious mix of opera, improv, and audience participation as our four singers create a fairy tale, a romantic comedy, or wacky Sci-Fi adventure.
