The Doctor
The Czech-American Experimental Opera Project successfully brought together Czech and North American composers, performers, and audiences in order to initiate and stimulate artistic and cultural exchange.
Under the sponsorship of Long Beach Opera and the Trust for Mutual Understanding, Downtown Opera participated in a collaborative project that involved the creation and world premiere performances of three new operas in the Czech Republic during December of 2002.
Three composers' chamber operas were performed back to back in participating venues as part of a Downtown Opera tour to Prague and Brno.
Czech composers, Miroslav Pudlak and Ivo Medek, and United States composer, Martin Herman, each composed new works on given shared concepts.
The three operas, each one lasting no more than 20 - 30 minutes, were given staged performances at the Barka Theatre in Brno and the Roxy Club Experimental Music Space in Prague, Czech Republic.
