In conjunction with Jeanine Oleson’s exhibition “Hear, Here” (April 23–July 6), guest music curator Cori Ellison (Dramaturg at Glyndebourne Festival Opera and previously at New York City Opera, 1997–2010) has organized a series of musical events exploring the possibilities of the operatic voice by placing it in nontraditional contexts.

The series kicks off tonight with The Rocky Horror Opera Show, in which a quartet of opera singers performs operatic standards to live accompaniment while an audience of die-hard opera fans and general public are encouraged to dress up, sing along, dance, or do whatever they’re moved to do, but normally restricted from doing.

Amelia Watkins, soprano
Sarah Heltzel, mezzo-soprano
Cameron Schutza, tenor
Robert Balonek, baritone
Eric Malson, pianist
