In this new, collaboratively-composed evening-length opera, the famous story of Sisyphus, the King of Corinth, is twisted, pulled apart, and reassembled in a collage of characters, genres and questions. Sisyphus was premiered at Abrons Arts Center in February 2015 and produced by Experiments in Opera.
Sisyphus features texts and music by the three founders of Experiments in Opera: Jason Cady, Aaron Siegel, and Matthew Welch and was developed in partnership with the director Ethan Heard and the designer Kristen Robinson.
