Mission Opera

The 13 Clocks

Lister-composer David Avshalomov invites you to the World Premiere of "The 13 Clocks," a playful magic tale, faux-horror story, and Medieval romantic comedy rolled into one, based on the perennial favorite children’s-book-for-grownups by dry American humorist James Thurber. An evil Duke, a captive Princess, a brave Prince, a forgetful Wizard, a scary Monster, a woman who weeps jewels, 13 frozen clocks, and some hungry geese--it has everything.

Come and enjoy a delightful light/dark evening with a fine cast of top local professional singers and creative video scenic touches, presented by Mission Opera at Canyon HS Performing Arts Center in Santa Clarita.  Here's the trailer:

The Ageless Singer

Working With Change

with Speech Language Pathologist Lori Sonnenberg

The Ageless Singer is focused on female singers who are experiencing hormonal vocal change. We are pleased to present a class featuring the Speech Language Pathologist, Lori Sonnenberg. Many of us experiencing vocal changes give up singing, thinking, "It's just age. I'll never sing comfortably again."

At The Ageless Singer, working with singers over the years, our refrain has been, "Where there is confusion, there is tension. Where there is understanding there is ease.”

Lori Sonnenberg specializes in working with a long list of issues that affect the singing voice. Some of the many voice issues she addresses are the result of inefficient use or misuse of the mechanism that can result when efforting our way through vocal changes.
