Synopsis: | conceived and directed by Wickham Boyle from her book A Mother's Essays from Ground Zero, with an electro-acoustic score by award-winning composer Douglas Geers. Told from the point of view of a mother (a longtime downtown resident), Calling captures the reactions and reflections of one family witnessing the attack on the World Trade Center at close range, and the path they take to move from chaos to recovery and hope. The opera's overture begins with the back and forth 'calling' of three distinct voices-the family (including children and friends), the Workers (the rescuers and those in the Towers) and the Antagonists (unseen)-each relying on rhythm and pattern to create a sense of urgency. As the musical drama progresses, dissonance moves to harmony. | |||||
