About the event

Thompson Street Opera Company's fall double bill tells two  stories of self-actualization and reclaiming identity. REDENCIÓN follows  the written correspondence between a man in prison for murder and an  anonymous penpal. Their mutual vulnerability with each other presents a  unique opportunity for answers, redemption, and peace. This work will be  sung in Spanish with projected English supertitles. 

THE BOY WHO WANTED  TO BE A ROBOT takes place in a future when humans can no longer  procreate. In a last-ditch effort, robots create a boy named Orgo to  continue the human race. However, the boy wants to be a robot, like his  friends. The robot king brings in a woman named Sally to teach the boy  to be human, but Orgo resists. Where can he find his place when he fits  in neither human nor robot society?

Tickets can be purchased here.
