iOrpheus/Cathedral Band update
June 21, 2007
Nora and Bill have arrived in Australia where they will create the public opera, iOrpheus, in the streets and promenades of South Bank, Brisbane. It is the final part of our Orpheus Trilogy–The iPod Opera 2.0–based on the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Check out our list of partners!
They have created a website to connect the cast and crew (both local and online), and thought you might like to take a look. It is not necessary to log in to explore the site.
In addition to the opera in the streets, there will be a variety of iOrpheus activities online at Flickr, MySpace, del.icio.us, YouTube, and Second Life, where you can join in. So stay tuned.
And if you have not seen part 1 of the trilogy, it is available as 26 podcasts in both video and audio-only feeds. Here are the urls:
The iPod Opera 2.0: Part I
The Myth of Orpheus, The Chronicler, and Eurydice
