Ne Sans. Opera & Dance
Hourglass
Livestreaming March 6 at 4pm PST
Established in 2017 by Artistic Director Idan Cohen, Ne. Sans Opera & Dance is re-imagining and reconnecting Opera & Dance. Directing opera through contemporary dance opens a whole new world of collaborative opportunities: an environment that involves working with singers, dancers, musicians, visual artists, and designers.
Hourglass by Ne. Sans Opera & Dance is set to 4 Piano Études by acclaimed minimalist composer Philip Glass, and features a duet with Racheal Prince & Brandon Lee Alley (Dance//Novella) joined on stage by pianist and celebrated conductor Leslie Dala.
