Happy New Year from Heretic Opera - hope everyone is weathering these winter storms! We're excited to announce our projects in 2014: Heretic is switching to a new, even more artist-centric model (welcome aboard Kenneth D. Froelich and Allison Armerding), commissioning a new work of music theater based on the life of Nicola Telsa, and releasing the full recording of "Valentine" (with bonus art work) in February. Stay tuned for details!

Really great interview with composer/guitarist/almost-rock-star Bryce Dessner.
