Link ["I am not making this up, you know."] San Francisco Opera will host a read-through of the libretto for Lewis Spratlan¹s "Earthrise," the company¹s first mini-commission addressing issues of cloning and genetic manipulation, at 7 p.m., Aug. 19, at the War Memorial Opera House, 5th floor Chorus Room. Following the read-through will be a "facilitated public dialogue," says the announcement, with the participation of specialists from the scientific community: Michael Marmor, MD, ophthalmologist at Stanford Medical Center, amateur clarinetist and SFO patron; Tania Simoncelli, Program Director at the Center for Genetics and Society, professional cellist; Paul Billings, MD, Co-Founder and Executive Vice-President, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of GeneSage, Inc.; and Richard Strohman, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California Berkeley. Composer Spratlan and librettist Constance Congdon will attend the read-through, which will be performed by actors from Theatre Rhinoceros. Elizabeth Benedict will portray lab scientist Fauna Bo-Pibulum. Douglas Holsclaw, Stephanie Taylor, Jenny Lord and Kathleen Antonia will read the roles of Leo, Margueritte, Adrianna and Janet, respectively. Jeff Manabat plays Wilder, Fauna¹s experimental test-tube offspring. I am scratching my head, but would attend if I didn't have a prior engagement (the Moscow Radio Orchestra, in Usher Hall). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Janos Gereben/SF janos451 () earthlink net ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
