Singing with the devil, San Diego Symphony Orchestra, 2023
In May 2023, Amelia reunited with Gerard McBurney to deliver the video art for the first half of the Singing With The Devil concert for the San Diego Symphony Orchestra at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
Creating the work for Pelleas and Melisande by Fauré and for La Peri by Dukas was a wonderful experience for the last month and it was great to work with the production team in San Diego. The show was a resounding success and it was fantastic to see the audiences response to the work.
