Experiments in Opera to Present ‘This is Not About Natalie’
By Francisco SalazarExperiments in Opera is set to perform “This is Not About Natalie,” a one-act opera with words and music by EiO co-founder Jason Cady.
The work is for a solo soprano with a ventriloquist doll and guitar.
The opera tells the story of “Kris, a songwriter who uploads a new, original song every day to YouTube and introduces each song in dialogue with her puppet. She was formerly one half of the underground duo, ‘Kris and Natalie,’ and her former partner, Natalie, went on to become a famous popstar. But this is not about her.”
The work will star Sarah Daniels accompanying herself with an electric guitar and a ventriloquist dummy.
Daniels made her debut with Experiments in Opera in 2019, as the title character in “Chunky in Heat (AM Homes).” She is also known for portraying Monica in “The Medium,” Constance in “Dialogues of the Carmelites,” and The Rooster in “The Cunning Little Vixen.” She has performed with Fresh Squeezed Opera, Chelsea Opera, and Rainy Park Opera Company.
The work will be presented from March 20 to 22 at The Tank on W 36th Street, NYC.
