[Project Creatine] (working title)
Project Creatine is a semi-biographical opera written for operatic tenor and drag artist Jordan Weatherston Pitts (Creatine Price). On an odyssey through city life, night clubs, and dreamscapes, our eponymous heroine encounters the highest highs and lowest lows of love, art, and living. Cantata, cabaret, and court drama – Project Creatine redefines opera in a boundary-breaking story about radical self-definition.
