Patrick Braga ’17 has brought his academic interests in urban planning, architecture and music together in his latest opera, “Eyes That Do Not See (Opus 42).”

Based on the work and ideas of the architect Le Corbusier, and using the myth of Prometheus as a narrative framework, the opera premieres with a free performance Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. in the Milstein Hall dome.

“One of my professors was trying to encourage me and said, ‘You should try writing an urban opera.’ Because urban planning can be very dramatic – you go to any city hall meetings, any of these moments can be part of a dramatic narrative,” Braga said. “City planning is something that touches peoples’ lives in a really deep way. ... People have very deep, vested personal interests in how their environments are shaped.”

The figures of Le Corbusier and Prometheus intersect “to explore the themes of unseeing eyes, the introduction of light into spaces and the unintended consequences of technology,” according to Braga.

The production, sung in English and French, features multimedia, a 12-piece chamber orchestra, two dancers and a five-voice women’s choir.

“They play simultaneously the role of a traditional Greek dramatic choir, but also take on roles jointly throughout,” Braga said. “Sometimes they play the Furies, or they all play Zeus – all five being one character.”

In the dual role of Le Corbusier and Prometheus is tenor soloist Jonathan Fisher ’17, a human development major in the College of Human Ecology.
