The Understudy
ABOUT
The Understudy
LIBRETTO BY JASON CADY. Part of "Aqua Net & Funyuns," a podcast of five different operas connected by dozens of hidden Easter Eggs. Each episode highlights the cliff-hanger nature of serial narratives by alternating between all five operas in “round-robin” style. The serial episodes tell compelling stories with vocals, instruments and immersive sound design. In The Understudy, an opera company hires a private eye to go undercover as an understudy to a soprano.
PRESS
