re:Naissance Opera has been nominated for the 2022 AUREA Awards.

The organization received the recognition for its “Eurydice: Live from the Underworld,” “an operatic XR experience with computer-generated sets and mythological avatars brought to life by the remarkable collaboration of opera, dance, hip hop and video game professionals.”

This piece premiered online at the IndieFest 2021.

The second part of the series, “Live From the Underground: Eurydice’s Calling” also got a live stream premiere in the Spring of 2022 but will now go live on Nov. 16 at IndieFest in Vancouver, Canada.

The co-creators for the project include creative director Debi Wong, Art Director / 3D Artist Conrad Sly, Director of Virtual Production Neel Nair, composer / sound engineer Brian Topp, writer / co-director Omari Newton, and co-director / writer / dramaturg Stephanie Wong, among others.

The awards ceremony is set to take place in Germany this December.
