Mexican American composer Nathan Felix is set to premiere Ribas-Dominicci, a new 60-minute, three-act opera inspired by the life of Major Fernando Luis Ribas-Dominicci, a pilot in the United States Air Force who was killed in action during Operation El Dorado Canyon in 1986.
The opera was written to premiere live as part of KPAC’s 40 year anniversary. Ribas-Dominicci features tenor Pedro Carreras as Ribas-Dominicci and soprano Lucianna Astora as Blanca Ribas.
The opera will be followed by a post-show reception featuring non-alcoholic refreshments and custom cocktails.
