Out into the Sun, is a first opera for both conductor and composer, Adrian Sylveen – the music, and Ed Napier, writer/singer/theatremaker – the libretto. This opera examines the fallout thatoccurs after a teacher, Richard Colby, is falsely accused of sexually assaulting a student at a New York City private school. All seems lost to Rich Colby until he meets his new neighbor, Cathy Schwartzman, and middle-age romance ensues. But nothing is as it seems: the student has lied; the head-of-school betrays Charlie, and the kid’s Father, a major donor at the school, has contempt for anyone or anything that might threaten him in any way. We look at the brutish, cruel dynamics that can emerge in such academically rigorous, competitive environments, and we consider the parents who, for the most part, create them.
