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 composer Laura Kaminsky, who talked about her initial reluctance to compose the music; being back in Pittsburgh to present this World Premiere; and how her psychology degree helps her in composition.
