An American Tragedy
“Santa Monica College Opera Theatre has the unique distinction of not only presenting the West Coast Premiere of ‘An American Tragedy,’ but the students will have the privilege of working with Tobias Picker as he will be composer-in-residence for the week of May 2 through 9,” said Gail Gordon, SMC Opera Theatre artistic director.
Sloan is a graduate of the Juilliard School who has performed throughout the country with such companies as Wolf Trap Opera, Kentucky Opera, Utah Opera and Tanglewood. He is quickly becoming recognized as much for his warm, elegant vocalism as he is for deft interpretations of diverse characters.
Critics have praised “An American Tragedy.” The Philadelphia Inquirer said “Picker’s score contains lush, singable, flowing music.” The New York Post said the opera is “a compelling mix of sex, religion and status” and that “Picker’s music has power.” And The Financial Times said “’An American Tragedy’ may be the perfect modern opera for people who hate modern opera.”
