Sound installation opera about voices and identities

Voice is Voices brings opera and singing closer than you have ever heard it. It is an opera installation about voices and identities:

tricksters of fairytales,

sister inventing their own language,

opera prelude for four coloratura sopranos,

and about one voice growing into different genders, feelings and personalities.

Different bodies, queotes and styles from baroque to Sprechgesang and Viena Karelian yoik tie Voice is Voices into an opera that invites the audience right inside the intimacy of the opera.
