Opera on Tap: Looking at You

Looking at You
A new techno-noir opera from Opera on Tap

Nerds at Silicon Hills like to party. They’re in the middle of a celebration at their massive corporate headquarters when you join in the fun. As you order a free drink from the singing, computer-generated assistant built into your table, a swirl of operatic voices, EDM and crime jazz surrounds you. You are now inside a story of high-tech espionage and sultry romance where Edward Snowden meets Casablanca. Looking At You is an immersive experience that confronts surveillance capitalism and the erosion of individual privacy in a digitized world.

“An absorbing frightening whole…Subjects for immersive theater don’t get much more relevant than the insidious spread of surveillance, which is cleverly explored in the opera Looking at You.”- The Wall Street Journal

About Opera on Tap
Opera on Tap (OOT) was born in 2005 at Freddy’s Bar and Backroom in Brooklyn and incorporated in 2007 to promote opera as a viable, living and progressive art form and to support the developing artists who continue to keep the art form alive. What began as a small monthly gathering of ambitious, classically trained singers looking for more performance opportunities, has grown into a producing organization that has gained a loyal audience base and national recognition as an innovative force on the classical music scene.

Presented as part of the SUNY Purchase Taproot Festival.
