Description

The Industry’s Listening Parties blend live performances with recorded work and speculative conversation centered on the future of opera as a multidisciplinary art form. These curated yet casual evenings have featured artists that include black futurist Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother), Aaron Turner from the post-metal band Sumac, composer and percussionist Guillermo E. Brown, extreme vocalist Carmina Escobar, scholar Michael Ned Holte, and mixed-media practitioner Matana Roberts.

Invisible Cities, the first opera by Grammy-winning composer Chris Cerrone, was staged by The Industry in Union Station in its world premiere in 2014. Currently a member of The Industry’s artistic advisory group, Cerrone has since become known for work characterized by a subtle handling of timbre and resonance, a deep literary fluency, and a flair for multimedia collaborations. In May he presents works that center the voice, including selections from his opera In A Grove and the Roomful of Teeth commission Friday’s Saints.

The Industry

The Industry is an independent, artist-driven, multidisciplinary opera company creating experimental productions that expand the definition of opera and new music. Through ambitious interdisciplinary collaborations in new contexts, we produce works that defy boundaries and inspire new audiences for the art form. We see our role in the music community as both providing a platform for large-scale artistic experiments that provoke questions and dialogue, and serving as an incubator for emerging American composers, musical talent, and artists predominantly based in Los Angeles County. The Industry’s mission-driven goal is to make opera for everyone.
