Invisible Cities Opera
INVISIBLE CITIES is the new opera by Christopher Cerrone to
be heard via Sennheiser wireless headphones in the spectacular setting of Union
Station. The wireless headphones allow
the audience to roam freely through the station, following individual
characters or creating their own adventure. The performance will offer an
“invisible trace” underneath the everyday operations of the station.

Khan asks Marco Polo: do the cities in my empire exist, or are they figments of
my imagination? Does any city truly exist, or are they the construct of our
desires and expectations? The Industry’s second production promises to be an
unforgettable site-specific exploration of Calvino’s masterpiece, set by
rising-star composer Christopher Cerrone.
