City Opera Buenos Aires
2011
Video projections for *City Opera Buenos Aires*, by Austrian composer Peter Ablinger. The work belongs to the *City Operas* series, a collection of compositions conceived for different cities around the world, and was presented at Sala Casacuberta of Teatro San Martín as part of the Contemporary Music Festival. A concert for ensemble, city noises, female voice, and video. The musical work is composed over the video piece, which consists of a single real-time shot of a street corner in Almagro, filmed according to Ablinger’s precise instructions. The ensemble performs the work over this image, while the pianist performs his part over a recording of a female voice transcribed into a musical score.
