Opera Montana presents A River Runs Through It: Page to Stage
About This Event
Opera Montana, in operation for over 40 years and presenting repertoire from classic to contemporary works, brings A River Runs Through It: Page to Stage to National Sawdust. The company's emphasis on community engagement, education and outreach frames this presentation as an extension of its work translating literary sources into staged opera.
About A River Runs Through It: Page to Stage(opera)
At National Sawdust, *A River Runs Through It: Page to Stage* treats the opera form as a live rock/pop set built for a listening room, not a proscenium. Featured performers include Britton & The Sting, Lola Kirke with Odetta, Storey Littleton + Calder the Destroyer, Black Belt Eagle Scout and Mato Wayuhi with Ailani, Bruce Brubaker Live!, and a Friday the 13th dance party with DJs Eli Escobar & Cosmo. No documented NYC premiere history is available in published materials. One clear point lands: the lineup makes “opera” feel less like a category and more like a method for staging contemporary song.
