Don’t miss this year’s production of Opera Shorts at Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall in NYC. You’ll experience funny, charming, sad and thrilling moments in these SHORTS with singers Chris Trakas, Monica Harte, Laura Pederson, Jamin Flabiano and more. Remarkable Theater Brigade is thrilled to have Steven Crawford and Joachim Schamberger back for this production, along with many of last year’s artists.
	RTB will produce Christian’s 3 children’s operas: G Train The Musical, HOUSE, and SHOT November 16th and 18th..   The performances will be recorded live with multiple cameras in the TV studio at Brooklyn College for elementary school students. The performances will be broadcast on Brooklyn Cable TV.  Each of these children’s operas has been performed for more than 20,000 children.
	G Train The Musical, about 5 zany characters trapped in a subway train, proves people can find a way to get along under the most stressful and irritating circumstances. The madcap antics of this unlikely crew leave audiences of all ages screaming with laughter.
	HOUSE is Christian’s fun SciFi Opera using sophisticated computer electronics that children today can’t get enough of. HOUSE travels through time and space and discovers through the course of the show how important friends are and how nice it can be to share. This comic opera has a real sweet side and the catchiest tune of all Guacamole in a Toothpaste Tube, used for a Taco Bell commercial as well as an interactive computer game.
	SHOT is about safe streets and explores various cultures and concerns of the dynamic neighborhoods in NYC. This hilarious show has an important message for children and adults about keeping our streets safe from crime and is extremely popular in schools. SHOT has been performed throughout the New York Metro Area, Mississippi and Louisiana. This real-life story hits home for communities across the country.
