Aging Magician is a groundbreaking hybrid work that blends opera, theater, and immersive visual elements into a singular stage experience. The project brings together a stark, lyrical score by Paola Prestini and a powerful libretto/performance by Rinde Eckert, creating a narrative and sonic landscape that resonates across contemporary art and opera audiences. Since its world premiere in 2015 at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Aging Magician has evolved through collaborations with Attacca Quartet and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, with Julian Crouch co-creating and directing. The work continues to tour with support from Beth Morrison Projects and VisionIntoArt, highlighting a sustained commitment to adventurous, cross-genre performance.
