Density512 premieres As the diva laments by Yevgeniy Sharlat
Jacob Aaron Schnitzer, Artistic Director

As the diva laments is based on an aria from my opera PARADISO, written with librettist Stephanie Fleischmann, which takes place after a human extinction event. In that aria, Alma the sentient robot tries to remember a scene from another opera, in which the diva prays to gods for deliverance in the face of an impending catastrophe. ~ Yevgeniy Sharlat
