Boundary-defying, collaborative original new music projects & opera theater works, spearheaded by soprano & artistic director, Misha Penton
I'm the Chief Cat Herder and Principal Dream Maker in these parts, and I believe making music and performance works is the best way I can add inspiration to the planet - and that's what the arts can do: make us tipsy on life and spur us on to what is possible: both individually and communally...a friend once said I was a "Beauty Bringer". Wow. I take that as the highest compliment.
Divergence Vocal Theater is an ensemble of performer-creators, cultivating our art adventure-to-adventure. What does that mean?: If an opera company were a rock band, we'd be it. The performance work here is made by a small conspiracy of professional opera and classical music singers, instrumentalists, theatrical designers, theater and dance artists, composers, writers, and media artists (translation: my friends and I do some really cool stuff).
And I like to keep things small, intimate, and personal, so come hang out with us, we've got some pretty wondrous wonders to share with you...
- Misha, opera singer, troublemaker, artistic director, etcetera...
