MUSIC, 6-8 JUN: OP Dialogues – Music, Dance, Conversation – Discover Fellow Travelers at Canyon High School Performing Arts Center, Santa Clarita, California, USA • ArtsEarth

The Merry Widow by Franz Léhar is among one of the most famous operettas in history. Operetta literally means “small opera” and is more like an American Broadway show than a traditional opera. This version is a brand new translation, libretto and dialogue, written by Mission Opera Artistic and Executive Director, Dr. Joshua Wentz and set in the 1980s! The show is in English and will feature a wide variety of dancing, including vogue, classic Viennese waltzing, the can-can, and a men’s kick line. The show will have you roaring with laughter at the comedic dialogue, as you take a trip down memory lane remembering the fashion and the culture of the glamorous ’80s, as the British crown and rock stars like Elton John, Freddie Mercury, and George Michael desperately try to hold on to power.

• 2 hours and 30 minutes, with one 15 minute intermission

VISUAL, 31 AUG-JAN 13: Eva Schlegel: Multiple Voices at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA • ArtsEarth

Multiple Voices is the first public artwork in the United States by Eva Schlegel, the Austria-based artist known for engineering steel and mirrors into spectacular, architectonic sculptures. Working with materials similar to the arts center’s new building, Schlegel created a series of polished and translucent surfaces that catch and reflect light and parts of the surrounding environment, encouraging visitors to gather, play and learn. Poems by Steve Bellin-Oka, Kimberly Blaeser, and Joy Harjo appear in blurred form on glass panels, registering each poem as part of the sculpture, but rendered cryptic to the viewer.
