Description
What They Seem is a fantastic, dark, and beautiful opera, and the first by the 17-year-old wunderkind composer, Red Bennett, with a libretto co-written by Sherry Boschert.A tale of good and evil that shows how appearances can be deceiving, What They Seem follows little O’stello and O’stella on a journey of adventure, adversity, and love. On the way they encounter a singing cat, a boisterous village, and an obsessed, isolated businessman who resists—but finally is drawn into—the community. And none too soon, because all are needed when evil crosses their path. What They Seem shows that when faced with violence and deceit, people come together in trust, camaraderie, and love.
The premiere of What They Seem heralds the arrival of a new voice in contemporary music. Bennett’s music will appeal to both seasoned opera lovers and novices, young and old, in a timeless tale that brings ancient truths to life.
