Nathan Felix to Premiere ‘Glory Gone’ at Luminaria Festival
By David SalazarComposer Nathan Felix will showcase his immersive headphone opera “Glory Gone” at the Luminaria Festival in San Antonio on Saturday, Nov. 14.
The work follows Gloria, a Hispanic pop singer who rises from poverty to national prominence, only to be assaulted by an obsessed photographer after a concert. Left with a scarred neck that ends her singing career, Gloria struggles with her self-worth and plots revenge against her assailant.
Soprano Kathryn Piña sings Gloria. She is joined by tenor Kevin Arratia-Diaz as The Obsessed Photographer, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Root as The Super Fan, soprano Daija Vanegas as news reporter Vivian Loder, and soprano Jennifer Lopez as The Music Agent. Richard Castillo conducts and Grammy-winning engineer Erik Wofford handles engineering.
Audience members will receive headphones before entering the performance space and can walk among the areas where singers and actors perform.
