The Secret Diaries of Pennsylvania Avenue
An online opera-pastiche with music by W. A. Mozart. www.renegadeopera.org/secretdiaries
The Secret Diaries of Pennsylvania Avenue is an interactive website and can be visited by viewers at any time, from anywhere. Our project presents an investigation of corruption through a collection of documents, videos, and audio files, and is devised from an adaptation of W. A. Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito using other music written by Mozart. It explores a 2028 White House under President Flavia Tito’s administration, posing the question to the American people: can our leaders be trusted? The experience varies with each exploration, but it generally takes 90 minutes to discover all the elements.
