Along with 105, I co-wrote the libretto for Golden, an immersive mini-opera with Michael Zapruder. 

Golden is a cutting-edge chamber opera that combines acoustic and electronic sounds, powerful voices and evocative immersive elements to tell the true story of a family whose belief in a magical golden object is tragically destroyed by the forces of technology.

It premiered at The Cohen New Works Festival, April 10-14, 2017 at The University of Texas at Austin. It was directed by Margaret Jumonville.
