Operatic day at the beach evokes climate crisis

  • 0

NEW YORK (AP) � Twenty-one tons of sand are transforming the Brooklyn Academy of Music into a day at a beach for the staging of the global warming opera Sun and Sea.� The hourlong opera that features singers sitting or lying on beach blankets under a hot sun. With light music, the work explores through characters with names like Wealthy Mommy and Workaholic how the climate is changing. “Sun and Sea� is the creation of three Lithuanian artists who say that while the opera’s sense of impending doom is subtle, they hope viewers emerge with a sense of togetherness. The work is headed to Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Bentonville, Arkansas, later this year.
