Red Giant

About Red Giant

As part of the farewell season, RWO will release its second studio cast album – the sci-fi chamber opera Red Giant (music by Adam Matlock and libretto by Brian Slattery). RWO first performed Red Giant in January 2014 as a fully staged touring production that saw performances in Baltimore, Brooklyn, and Jersey City. As part of its 2021-22 season, which was produced amidst pandemic restrictions, RWO created an online revival production of Red Giant. For this special virtual production, our three ensemble singers rehearsed and performed live from separate locations across the east coast!

This studio cast recording from this production marks the second record released by RWO. The album was mastered by Rhymes With Orchestra saxophonist Zach Herchen and produced by RWO's co-artistic director and founding member Robert Maril.
