Sonnet 60 (2020)

Sonnet 60 was written for Rhymes With Opera’s “1-minute Operas” project, which premiered in August 2020 in a Facebook streaming event. While audiences experienced the prerecorded piece, once the music began, they are invited to open another tab in their web browser to listen to the audio of a slightly different recording of the same work, creating a canon between the two recordings. The work highlights the passage of time with both Shakespeare’s sonnet and by recreating the slight latency that we experience in live internet events.

Written for the Rhymes With Opera "1-Minute Opera" project, August 2020. www.rhymeswithopera.org
