7:00 PM . Neal Medlyn, Pop Star Series, The 2015 Emerald Edition: The Lionel Richie Opera + Coming in the Air Tonight

The Lionel Richie Opera is built around a Lionel Richie greatest hits CD. The songs play in the order they appear on the CD to score a fairy tale about a love triangle between the queen of the land of unicorns, a violent and sullen prince and a musician, interwoven with personal biography and imagery from opera, Richie’s life, and introducing the language of the Pop Star Series.

Coming in the Air Tonight is built around Phil Collins, urban legends, blood and the color white, a fever dream of childhood friendships, matricide, show business, biography and religious iconography.
