Resonance Works will be the second company to present the acclaimed new American opera "I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams." This Pittsburgh premiere will o...

Dreamer's music is in Sosa's original and personal voice which draws upon an eclectic mix of styles and influences, including traces of Asian and Mexican folk music, jazz, Afro-latin rhythms, as well as western classical traditions. A children’s chorus takes a central role in the opera, uplifting the voice and perspective of immigrant children through singers from the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus.

Resonance Works alum Maria Dominique Lopez, a Mexican-American mezzo soprano, brings her “vocal instrument of exceptional beauty, range, and flexibility” to the role of Rosa. Soprano Helen Zhibing Huang returns to the Resonance Works stage as Singa, a role she originated “with gusto and clarity” (The Boston Intelligencer) in the Boston world premiere of Dreamer in 2019. Our production of Dreamer takes shape through the vision of acclaimed stage and film director Estefanía Fadul, who “aims to connect diverse communities through inventive, visceral, and socially conscious storytelling.” Familiar Resonance Works alum Natalie Polito, a versatile soprano who previously performed in our productions of Falstaff and Rusalka, performs as Mother/Gangster/Prosecutor.

Building on its reputation for bringing the important new American music to Pittsburgh audiences, Resonance Works is the second company to present this celebrated work, which The Boston Globe described as “…a timely tale haunted by American dreams.” Dreamer held its world premiere in Boston in September 2019 under the auspices of Jacobs’ White Snake Projects, a company in the vanguard of developing new American opera.

I am a dreamer who no longer dreams by Sosa, J., From (2022/2022), Directed by Estefanía Fadul,, Conductor Maria Sensi Sellner, Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, Pittsburg, United States
