Adapted from Karel Čapek’s 1920 play, `The Robots’ seems perfectly timed for our AI era. ` I wanted something funny,’ says Project [BLANK] co-founder Leslie Leytham
Take two UC San Diego alums, a century-old sci-fi play and an adventurous theater/music company, and what do you get? Project BLANK’s “The Robots,” a humorous and dystopian — or is it dystopian but humorous? — chamber opera. Composer Carolyn Chen and Project BLANK Leslie Leytham stayed in touch after Chen finished her doctorate in 2014 and moved to Los Angeles. Five years later, Leytham asked if her friend would help transform the 1920 play “R.U.R.: Rossum's Universal Robots” into an opera.
” Of the “The Robots” cast, Leytham, soprano Mariana Flores-Bucio, tenor Miguel Zazueta-Cervera and baritone Jonathan Nussman all had key roles in “No Exit,” Project BLANK’s highly praised 2023 chamber opera. In “The Robots,” they’re joined by contralto Danielle Perrault, baritone Paul Young, Jr. and bass Shelby Condray.
