Rory Willats
(He/Him) UPCOMING: Presenting at the ZIp-Scene Conference on Immersive Storytelling at the DOX Center of Contemporary Art in Prague, CZ

Here to break opera out of its museum glass and return it to the cultural life of our communities alive, fresh, and dangerous.

- Opera is uniquely positioned—through its affective potency, meta-textual historicity, hybrid performance landscape, and, most of all, sheer audacity—to engage meaningfully with the crises of today; And, we need it to.
