Details and info for the 4:30 Movie opera….
If you are in the Bay Area, April 30/31, come see this wonderful mini-opera, 4:30 Movie, with music by Kurt Rohde based on a book of poems by Donna Masini with my hand-painted animations.
At the opening last night at Sincresis. A good time was had by all.
Grateful that this glass piece hand-carried made the trip to Italy!
Opening Saturday at 6:00 PM.
Glass leaves going strong.
