Bringing together different musical styles and voices, and shot in a sound stage, Everything for Dawn is a mesmerizing synthesis of streaming television and theatrical spectacle.   Everything for Dawn is an original coming-of-age story spanning the 1990s. Dawn is a teenager dealing with the impact of her father’s suicide. Her personal tragedy becomes public when his paintings become celebrated as “outsider art.” With each episode written by a different librettist/composer pairing, the opera is an examination of the ways we seek solace in a broken world, community intersectionality, and the rationale for making art.
