Abstract
Allegro molto con brio king kong, subtitled “a digital opera,” is a complex and compelling mixture of dance, video, live music and pre-recorded singing. Ultimately based on the Prometheus legend, the opera is an investigation of the intersections between technology, culture and myth in the modern era. Allegro premiered 8-10 April 1999 at Dancers’ Studio West in Calgary, part of a season that featured the work of emerging Alberta choreographers. The principal collaborators were Doug DeRoche, who wrote the libretto, choreographer Danielle McCulloch and composer Kenneth Doren, who was also responsible for the original concept and for the various multimedia aspects of the production.
