VIREO, a made-for-film opera in 12 episodes

What could opera be if it wasn’t constricted to a single stage? Vireo: The Spiritual Biography of a Witch’s Accuser, is composer Lisa Bielawa’s answer. Vireo is a new made-for-TV opera composed by Lisa Bielawa on a libretto by Erik Ehn, directed by Charles Otte. Comprised of 12 episodes, Vireo tears down the set limitations of a staged opera, visiting locations across the country – Alcatraz, a monastery on the Hudson River, an abandoned train station in Oakland, and the California Redwoods.
