Nobody is Ever Missing
Elyria is alone, hitchhiking through New Zealand. She has left everything and everyone in her life behind her. As she spends more and more time in her own head, she eventually comes to terms with what it means to escape and the impossibility of escape from herself.
A new opera, composed by Tim Holt and inspired by Catherine Lacey’s 2014 novel Nobody is Ever Missing, invited audiences to sit or explore the space, following the calls of the soprano soloist, choir, percussionist, and the sounds of other musicians in the distance.
Sung by Heather Morrison. Directed by Juanita Rockwell.
With projections by Meg Rorison, lights by Juan Juarez, and sets by James Raymond.
Featuring musicians Shelly Purdy, Gracie Carney, Peter Kibbe, Stephanie Ray, Jenny Tscheulin, and Liz Hill.
