On Tuesday, March 27, 2012, Gotham Chamber Opera will return to Le Poisson Rouge for an evening of chamber music, opera, and rock and roll. Gotham Chamber Opera Steps Out will take place on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 8pm (doors open at 7pm) at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street, NYC. Tickets are $15 and are available at http://lepoissonrouge.com/events.

Gotham Chamber Opera Steps Out will feature singers, musicians and composers associated with the company, in a downtown setting different from their usual appearances in the theater. The repertoire will combine works from the Baroque era to the present, juxtaposing genres from classical to alternative rock, from operatic chestnuts to contemporary art song. Special guests performing this evening include singers Jennifer Check, Maeve Höglund, Eve Gigliotti, Gennard Lombardozzi, and Benjamin LeClair from Gotham Chamber Opera's roster; alternative rock band Miracles of Modern Science, whose members include Gotham's assistant conductor Geoff McDonald; and composer and performer Gabriel Kahane, whose work "You left me, sweet" was commissioned by Gotham Chamber Opera.

Among the other contemporary composers featured on the program are Lembit Beecher, composer-in-residence of the Opera Company of Philadelphia in collaboration with Gotham Chamber Opera and Music-Theatre Group; and George Lam, who is not only a composer but also the Producing Associate for GCO. 

Gotham Chamber Opera Steps Out is a general admission event. Seating is limited and available on a first come, first seated basis. There is a two-item minimum per person at all tables. Standing room is also available. For more information, visit http://lepoissonrouge.com/events.
