Hopscotch arrives

Hopscotch, the "mobile opera" created by the Industry and directed by Yuval Sharon, opens in Los Angeles on Oct. 31. I've had some early glimpses of the production, and I strongly urge anyone who lives in or near LA not to miss it. The principal composers are Andrew Norman, Andrew McIntosh, Ellen Reid, Veronika Krausas, David Rosenboom, and Marc Lowenstein, who also serves as music director.
