‘While There’s Light’ is a work-in-progress selection from composer Sarah Sarhandi and Vincent Katz’s opera based on Katz’s award-winning translations of the love poems of 1st century BCE Roman poet Sextus Propertius. Katz and Sarhandi are crafting an evening’s performance that tells a story of love, lust, obsession, mistrust, hatred, death, and immortality, set against the context, relevant today as then, of a relentlessly militaristic society. Sarhandi is composing a score with classical structures that also draws on dance music. Voices, instruments and Sarah’s distinctive viola combine with and are contrasted against electronica in intimate interludes and large layered soundscapes.

The interactive broadcast will include a Q&A with prizes for audience members who can identify arcane mythological references!
