About the Opera
No Exit, an Opera in One Act
by Zachary M. Watkins, composer-librettist
Three people, Estelle Rigault, Joseph Garcin, and Inèz Serrano are led to a room in Hell by a mysterious valet. While they had all expected something more violent to punish them for eternity, they find a simple furnished room. Will the banality of it all drive them mad, or is it not as bad as they imagined?
Rogue Music Project and the CRC Music Department present a concert reading of Sacramento-based composer Zachary M. Watkins’ opera No Exit after the play by Jean-Paul Sartres. This exciting premiere brings together CRC students and community performers for an all-local production organized by Rogue Music Project.
