Aria412 presents I Hear America Singing, a film by Daren Hagen! Two of the stars, Robert Frankenberry and Aria412 co-founder Desiree Soteres, spoke with Jim Cunningham about the screening.
Robert and Desiree star alongside baritone Christopher Scott in this third installment of opera films by Daren Hagen. Robert calls it a blend of "independent film and opera music theater performance," rather than a filmed show for broadcast. He and Desiree talk about their respective characters, bringing the film to life, and working with Daren. The opera was created by Aria412, and The New Mercury Players produced the film.
Jim, Desiree, and Robert also listen to four songs from the film, reflecting on the performance.
Don't miss the premiere of I Hear America Singing on Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00pm at the Oaks Theater in Oakmont. There will be a Q&A with Daren and the cast after the screening. More information and tickets can be found at https://www.aria412pgh.com/.
