Marie Incontrera’s Riot Girl Opera (A First)
Marie Incontrera’s At the Other Side of the Earth, a riot girl opera, received its exciting premiere on May 18 in NYC. The opera was one of a kind in telling the story of a lesbian woman in a fictional (but not unrealistic—Rick Santorum did win the Republican primaries in 11 states) Christian fascist society finding herself in love with a powerful out and uncompromising riot girl. Incontrera’s compositional skills paved a musical process full of passionate outbursts, enticing rhythmic cells, astringent dissonances, ominous tension, and humorous moments well fitting for the subject matter.
