Anthony Roth Costanzo, the avant-garde fashion/art company VISIONAIRE, and producer Cath Brittan present Glass Handel, an hour-long live interdisciplinary installation co-produced by National Sawdust and Opera Philadelphia. Features live painting by George Condo, choreography by Tony Award-winner Justin Peck with dancers David Hallberg and Patricia Delgado, as well as multiple opera “music videos” incorporated into the installation and shareable online.

Audience members will have unique experiences during the performance via a device designed by Ryan McNamara, which moves people in their chairs around a space during the performance.
