Art Bath transforms the salon experience into a festival-in-an-evening that takes audiences on an immersive ride through many disciplines and textures of art. With an established history of fostering new collaborations and work by world-class creatives, Art Bath draws from an eclectic lineup of opera, music, dance, puppetry, and fine artists to create unique evenings in a reimagined warehouse. Art Bath + PROTOTYPE FESTIVAL will feature star bass Soloman Howard in an intimate performance; master puppeteer and designer Julian Crouch with Saskia Lane in their work Birdheart; choreographer Annie Rigney with countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, soprano Danielle Buonaiuto, and thereminist Rob Schwimmer, in she was becoming untethered..; sculptor and performance artist Elissavet (Betty) Sfyri in a new work; and a first-time collaboration between contemporary Gnawa collective Saha Gnawa and roller-skating artist Manuela Agudelo Roberts. Art Bath would like to thank Michael Dupler for his generous support of this program.

About PROTOTYPE Festival
PROTOTYPE – OPERA l THEATRE l NOW is a co-production of Beth Morrison Projects and HERE, two trailblazers in the creation and presentation of contemporary, multi-disciplinary opera-theatre and music-theatre works. The pioneering festival is the only one of its kind in New York City and is a model now emulated around the country – producing and presenting a wide spectrum of works, from intimate black-box experiences to larger chamber opera productions, valuing artistic, curatorial, and producorial risk-taking. PROTOTYPE is committed to surprising our audiences and confounding their expectations through content, form, and relevance. The festival gives voice to a diverse group of composers, librettists, performers and musicians across all genres, backgrounds, and cultures. In providing a recurring showcase of visionary opera-theatre and music-theatre pieces, the touring life of the work extends around the world. The festival also presents groundbreaking new works by international artists and has become a global reference of artistic excellence in the field of opera and music-theatre.
