“…[R]aucous, grungy, irresistibly exuberant...this group’s boisterously theatrical sensibility...draws out the vitality in the works it plays. [A] fun-loving, exceptionally virtuosic family.” – The New York Times

APOLAKI: Opera of the Scorched Earth
APOLAKI: Opera of the Scorched Earth is an experimental opera created by Filipino-American composer and performer Micaela Tobin. This is the second opera in her trilogy of works celebrating the pre-colonial mythology of the Philippines and tells the story of Apolaki, the God of Sun and War, who finds themself lost in a foreign and unfamiliar land after being displaced by Spanish colonizers. The opera is a radical meditation on the complex relationships between settler colonialism and migration by inviting the audience to join Apolaki in an immersive pilgrimage through a walking labyrinth. The work premiered in July 2023 at the historic and storied Zorthian Ranch overlooking the Los Angeles Basin. Coming to Tulsa, OK in 2026.
“A brilliant showcase in the evolution of her art.”
