This three-day event with pioneering American contemporary composer Robert Ashley, celebrated for his operas and multidisciplinary projects, will centre on Vidas Perfectas, an ambitious new Spanish-language opera based on Ashley’s Perfect Lives. Directed by musician and composer Alex Waterman, Vidas Perfectas stars Ned Sublette and Elio Villafranca with new arrangements by Peter Gordon, the original producer of Perfect Lives.
Five episodes from Vidas Perfectas will be performed on 28 and 29 September at the Serpentine Gallery and at Café OTO. Ashley will also perform and take part in a discussion with Alex Waterman and Will Holder on 30 September at Café OTO.
