CONTEMPORARY OPERA MARIN

Aurora, a community opera in one act, by Paul Smith

An expansion of his work from six years ago, Aurora takes place in rural Texas and tells the story of a reported UFO crash in April 1897 and discovery of its person "not of this earth."  The story unfolds as residents react to this out-of-the-ordinary event.  It must be true... it was in the newspaper!

The performance opens with a sampling of solo and choral music by Ernst Bacon, Henry Cowell, Ron Fein, Tara Flandreau, Kevin Schuepbach, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and David delTredici.
