Opera Frontier‘s mischievous Leporello, CJ Blankenship, is a joy to behold, whether he’s flanked by his irate accusers in a traditional ‘park-and-bark’ opera scene, or is mixing it up to the boom-box beat. “Mille torbidi pensieri”, the sextet from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, begged for a modern wrap-around. For this remix, we collaborated with Oakland choreographer Sarah Bush and composer Tal Ariel to take advantage of CJ’s prodigious song and dance skills.
