About
In June 2014, Opera Cabal presented the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), in the world stage premiere of ATTHIS, a haunting monodrama by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas with lyrics by the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Directed by Emmy Award-winning stage director Habib Azar, soprano Ariadne Grief took the stage as Sappho with Opera Cabal’s Majel Connery embodying her elusive lover. The evening also featured never-before-staged works by Brazilian composer Marcos Balter featuring Nadia Sirota (viola), Clarice Jensen (cello) and Andrew Rehrig (alto flute).
