Pittsburgh Opera presents the World Premiere of “Time to Act” at the Bitz Opera Factory from February 28th through March 8th. The opera follows a group of high school students preparing for a production of Sophocles’ Antigone, who are joined by a new student, Alona, who comes with a formidable secret.
WQED-FM’s Anna Singer spoke with conductor Michael Sakir. Michael talked about working with composer Laura Kaminsky in the past; the orchestration of the opera; and where he will be set up in the production.
