Opera Santa Barbara presents AS ONE

Hannah, a transgender woman portrayed by two singers, baritone Evan Bravos (Hannah before) and mezzo soprano Ashley Armstrong (Hannah after) discovers her gender identity and learns to love herself in a world where she’s not accepted, in this 75’ chamber opera by Laura Kaminsky, Mark Campbell, and Kimberly Reed.

Premiered in 2014, As One quickly became the most frequently performed American opera thanks to its lyricism and the universality and timeliness of its themes: authenticity, identity, compassion and self-love.

Opera Santa Barbara presents the 50th production of this unforgettable work on March 25 and 27, 2022, at the Lobero Theater. More information here.

Tickets are $99, $159, or pay-what-you-choose, available at https://www.lobero.org/tnew7/.

“As One is everything that we hope for in contemporary opera: topical, poignant, daring, and beautifully written. “
