Space Opera

The discovery of a flying disc beneath the earth allows passengers to take off from the Earth and visit an entire solar system. The ambient recreates the interior of an alien spaceship where a voice facilitates the journey and provides information on each galactic stop.   Space Opera is therefore an artistic, philosophic, scientific and cinematic experience all at the same time and indeed a unique experience of its kind. The journey in Space Opera is designed and harmonized entirely with Gustav Holst’s The Planets, Op. 32, which is one of his most beloved and admired works.  Holst, an English composer, created "The Planets" around the time of the Vienna Secession, where visual artists were unleashing a new and simplified abstract aesthetic, rich with expressive shapes and form. Similarly, Holst boldly personifies and gives expression to each of the planets, reflecting his interest in astrology.
