[NEohioPAL] The Berloiz Project makes Big Box '12 get MULTI!

[Rebecca Hill]

The 5th week of Cleveland Public Theatre's Big Box 2012 introduces:

The Berlioz Project: a multidisciplinary multimedia multi-venue Rock Opera
Written and Directed by Deborah Magid
In Collaboration with Verb Ballets and Lilyana Valentinova Petrova
In 1827, Romantic Era composer Hector Berlioz was at his wits' end. Disowned by his mother and disdained by the critics, he sought to finish his life with a drug overdose. It's the Summer of Love in Haight-Ashbury, and rock-star-wannabe Berlioz trips his way to creating his masterwork, Symphonie Fantastique, Episode in the Life of an Artist, which began his long and successful career and inspired other artists and composers, most notably Richard Wagner.
The Berlioz Project's collaborators transform Symphonie Fantastique and the story behind it into a modern opera with multiple styles of dance, and visual media.

Librettist/composer/arranger Deborah Magid, Verb Ballets (choreography and performances) and Cleveland State University film/video classes are currently collaborating on the Project. Daniel Takacs is Assistant Director, William Anthony and Ken Milder are artistic/technical consultants, and Lilyana Valentinova Petrova is the media consultant.
