Opera Parallèle announced its oddly-number 2022-23 season, all performances of which seem to take place in 2023. There are just two works next year but they are goodies:
- Everest: An Immersive Experience, by Joby Talbot with a libretto by Gene Scheer. During the earlier stage of the pandemic, OP created a video version of this. I never saw it, though I will try to see it in the near future. I loved Talbot's Path of Miracles, performed by Volti and ODC Dance in 2018. This opera is based on interviews and other accounts of the 1996 Mt. Everest climbing disaster covered by Jon Krakauer in Into Thin Air. Now it's being staged as a completely immersive experience at Z Space. Intruiging and well cast, with Sasha Cooke, Nathan Granner, Kevin Burdette, Hadleigh Adams, and more. February 3-12, 2023.
- The Shining, by Paul Moravec with a libretto by Mark Campbell. Based on the Stephen King novel; a co-production with Hawai'i Opera Theatre and Opera Portland. June 2-4, 2023. Edward Parks, Kearstin Piper Brown, Aubrey Allicock, and others star. This one is at YBCA Theatre.

The OP webpage for the Everest production has a small asterisk that makes a big difference: "Cast not appearing live".
