Currently in it’s 6th year of performance in the Hudson Valley region, 'Seeds Under Nuclear Winter: An Earth Opera’ is a recreation of spiritual visions, dreams, and mythic stories through world and sacred music, performance art, movement, and light experiments—shared as an immersive and multi-sensory community experience.

The Earth Opera takes place in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and centers around finding light, beauty, and hope in the darkest times – and on our deep connection with all living things, our planet, and with each other.

Orchestrated for harp, ethereal voices, Andean instruments, Indonesian gamelan, strings, choir, drones, dulcimer, piano, gongs, brass, ancient Celtic carnyx dragon horn, bagpipes, waterphone, pipe organ, and a giant cast of between 25-40 Hudson Valley performance artists, the 'Earth Opera’ steps into otherworldly realms and unfolds upon a non-linear and timeless path, similar to the way we dream.

Composed and developed by Elizabeth Clark during a four-year artist residency at Byrdcliffe Artists Colony in Woodstock NY in a tiny little cabin on a mountain—-the Earth Opera has continued evolving over time through the collective dreaming of a vibrant and collaborative community of performance artists and musicians. The Earth Opera has been performed annually in the Hudson Valley from 2021-2026, including (literally) deep inside of the Earth in the vast natural amphitheater of ‘The Widow Jane Mine’ (site-specific location the project was initially designed for), as well as adaptations for Cathedral spaces (Old Dutch Church, Kingston—utilizing entire wall of pipe-organ as drone), Byrdcliffe Theater (Black Box Theater), and for an intimate performance at Graveside Variety (Amanda Palmer’s pop-up venue in Woodstock NY). The Earth Opera continues to offer transformative and otherworldly immersive community experiences through this living and evolving body of work.
