I have completed "The Mermaid," an opera in three acts, based on "The Little Mermaid," by Hans Christian Andersen. It premieres at Oberlin College's Wilder Main Lounge on May 6, 2009, and runs from May 6 - May 9 (8 PM).

The opera runs about 2 hours total.

Andrew Lipian - The Sea Witch

Roy Hage - The Prince

Sara Casey - The Princess

Hope to see some of you there!

As part of the preparations for "The Mermaid," I've opened a YouTube channel! Currently there's only one video on it (an interview with our Mermaid and her Voice), but watch for more as they come!

"The Mermaid" was premiered on May 6, 2009 in Oberlin College's Wilder Main Lounge. It was extremely well received, and played to sold-out audiences through both of its runs (May 6 - 9, May 23 - 24).

Clips of the performance are available on YouTube: "The Mermaid" on YouTube!
