"Like the classical Greek theorists, Anne LeBaron hears music in the churning of the earth." The Washington Post
Set against the backdrop of a great American river during a torrential flood, this provocative new opera by Anne LeBaron and Terese Svoboda sketches out a world in which multinational corporations have cornered all supplies of water. Brimming with heartbreak as much as comedy, Wet features 10 vocalists who portray a cast of characters that includes, among others, pregnant teenage twins, a pair of lumberjacks and Death. LeBaron is a winner of the Alpert Award in the Arts, while Svoboda has been hailed for work such as the collection Trailer Girl and Other Stories.
Funded in part by a generous grant from The Herb Alpert Foundation. Additional support is provided by Argosy Foundation Contemporary Music Fund, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the American Composers Forum of Los Angeles.
