Thanks to everyone for coming to our performances! Take a look at our Gallery to see what it was like.

The Newtown Odyssey team is grateful to Newtown Creek Alliance, North Brooklyn Community Boathouse, Amant, our volunteers, our performers, and our production team for making this project possible.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Performers sing aboard floating stages, while the audience observes from along the shore and in boats, connecting them physically to the unique site of Newtown Creek. The opera is a collaboration between musician Kurt Rohde, writer Dana Spiotta, and artist Marie Lorenz.
