SUMMARY:COVID Live Event - One Voice Project Virtual Micro-Opera Festival
DESCRIPTION:Composer Lisa Neher and Librettist KendraLeonard present the 
 One Voice Project Virtual Micro Opera Festival, a weeklong festival of m
 icro opera world premieres. Every day from March 22-26, a new 5-minute u
 naccompanied opera written by Neher & Leonard will be released on YouTub
 e.\n\nThe operas feature acclaimed opera singers from across the United 
 States, including tenor Hugo Vera (Metropolitan Opera), mezzo Margaret O
 ’Connell (Center for Contemporary Opera), soprano Audrey Yoder (Pacifi
 c Opera Project), tenor Zach Finkelstein(New York City Opera), and mezzo
  Lisa Neher herself (Opera Theatre Oregon).\n\nThe festival channels the
  artistic brilliance of opera singers who have frequently found themselv
 es without work and artistic outlets during the pandemic. Each opera is 
 a self-contained story, with plots that address women in sport, the life
  of musicians during the pandemic, and resilience in the face of obstacl
 es. Several were composed in collaboration with the singers, with plots 
 drawn from their experiences over the last year. The operas promote unac
 companied repertoire for singers as a genre equal to that of unaccompani
 ed instrumental repertoire, a cause Neher regularly champions through he
 r One Voice Project call for scores & concert series. Tickets are Pay as
  You Can in order to make opera accessible to all.\n\nTickets: https://f
