Opera Festival: A Zine Opera, by ChanJi Kim and Keri Lee Pierson

Opera Festival / Contemporary Classical Series: The Zine Opera – a chamber opera about Women, by Women, set in the world’s best living room concert hall, transformed into a European opera house for the occasion.

The Zine Opera is a fun and intriguing new chamber opera, created through the collaboration between ChanJi Kim (composer) and Keri Lee Pierson (soprano and librettist).

Join singer Keri Lee Pierson and pianist Sofía Cardi Bonfil as they tell the fictional story of Liz, a 1990s historian working in the archives of a library and uncovering the stories of pioneering women featured in Fanzines. The narratives will make you laugh and compel you to reflect, and maybe will even remind you of someone you love. Although the women are mostly fiction, they are based on real people of history and some personal stories of the creators.
