Nathan Felix

Glory Gone, is an opera by composer Nathan Felix explores the theme of restoring voices and the search for one’s purpose and identity

Radius Center

The narrative follows Gloria, a prolific Hispanic singer who rose from poverty and into the national limelight by crossing over into the American mainstream. After a concert, Gloria is assaulted by an obsessed and jealous photographer. On life support, Gloria fights for her life and survives as fans go on live television to ask the nation to pray for her. While recovering she looks at herself in the mirror and becomes depressed with her now scarred neck that also has stripped her of continuing her singing career. Gloria struggles with her self worth, identity and purpose. An underlying anger for her assailant boils over and she schemes a plot to inflict pain on him as revenge for destroying her career.The opera will feature local San Antonio talent lead by Kathryn Piña (soprano) as Gloria the Pop Singer, Kevin Arratia-Diaz (Tenor) as The Obsessed Photographer, Olivia Gronenthal (Mezzo-Soprano) as The Super Fan, Fabiola Quezada (Soprano) as News Reporter Vivian Loder and Jenna Winslow (Soprano) as the Music Agent. Glory Gone will occur as an immersive production in various spaces within the Radius Center.Felix is known for his guerilla-style approach in presenting classical music in unconventional spaces and Glory Gone is no exception, with a performance utilizing space, movement, and acoustics to activate the Radius Center both indoors and outdoors. The idea behind Felix’s immersive opera is similar to a flash mob as it revolves around blurring the line between performer and audience by having musical performers move amongst the audience as they perform a cohesive musical composition. The audience is encouraged to follow the narrative of the piece which entails following the soloists but they are ultimately given agency to explore based on feeling, sight and soundscape.
