OneFifty Premieres ‘The Hubble Cantata’
On Saturday, August 6th, OneFifty partnered with National Sawdust to premiere ‘The Hubble Cantata’, the first multidimensional view of space in virtual reality combined with an original opera. Composed by Paola Prestini and directed by OneFifty artist Eliza McNitt, the performance gathered over 6,000 people at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn, New York as a part of the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival. The opera was performed by baritone Nathan Gunn and soprano Jessica Rivera of the Metropolitan opera and the virtual reality component was created by VIRTUALIZE and The Endless Collective (Gravity, Edge of Tomorrow). A world tour with follow and soon the VR experience will be available to viewers at home on their own devices. We are excited to work with Eliza on the narration of the stand-alone VR experience.
