In order to study an art museum setting for our original opera, we went on an excursion to The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. To visit this beautiful, vast space filled with paintings and sculptures from all over the world was a once in a lifetime experience for many. With eyes wide open, we meandered from the east building to the west building, sketching art of intrigue and noting particular artists that captured our attention. Alexander Calder, Jackson Pollock, Henri Matisse, John Singleton Copley, Thomas Cole, Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet were among those masters featured on our self-guided tour. Each company member was moved in unique ways that were delightful to witness. In reflecting on the field trip, Anthony wrote, “I want to know who inspired these artists because they started a fire.” Indeed they did, Anthony- as will you.
When you see our opera set, hopefully it will inspire YOU as it brings to life a story of profound lessons about releasing what’s inside of us.
