Workshop of Conrad Cummings and Mark Campbell's AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN
Wes recently joined conductor Steven Osgood and several opera industry colleagues for a reading of the first portion of a new opera by Conrad Cummings and Mark Campbell called Again and Again. And Again in New York City. Conrad descirbes the work as “a chamber opera based somewhat on Pierre Corneille’s 1636 meta-theatrical free-for-all, L’Illusion Comique.
The opera contains comedy and loss, a sorcerer and reincarnation, French Classical theatrics and a 1980’s TV soap opera. Oh, and a goat farm in Vermont. Through it all a father searches for his estranged son.”
