THE COMPANION & MOSTLY MODERN ARIAS

Beloved & cherished modern arias of the 20th/21st century and
THE COMPANION, a comic opera set in the future (by Robert Paterson & David Cote)
Part of the Mostly Modern Festival—2022 Season collection***

Not so far in the future, Maya (soprano) lives with her android lover named Joe (tenor). This interactive programmed Companion looks and sounds human—only better. Still, Maya wants more complexity from Joe. She has technician Dax (baritone) come by to install new experimental software, with surprising results.

The Companion is Part I of Three Way, developed by AOP as part of AOP’s Composers & the Voice program. Additional development by the Fort Worth Opera Frontiers Showcase. Three Way premiered in 2017 in a co-production by AOP and Nashville Opera.
