Dorothea and Artemisia at Z Space

Left Coast Chamber Ensemble presents Dorothea and Artemisia, a program featuring the world premieres of two original chamber operas, each inspired by the contributions of an extraordinary woman artist. The concert includes From the Field, a micro-opera by Christopher Stark illuminating the work of Depression-era photographer Dorothea Lange, and Artemisia, a dramatic operatic work by Laura Schwendinger based on the life of famed 17th century Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Both pieces feature images of the artists' work bought to life with projections designed by Andrew Lucia.
