We are the Burning Opera (www.burningopera.com), a group of San Francisco-, LA-, and Seattle-based folks who recently produced How to Survive the Apocalypse, a successful rock opera about the origins and evolution of Burning Man. The show premiered in workshop form Jan. 16, 2009 at San Francisco's Stage Werx to an enthusiastic, sold-out audience, and to great reviews. We then finished writing the show, and performed nine sold-out performances at Teatro ZinZanni in San Francisco in October, 2009 — again to great community acclaim. An ambitious and ferociously inventive radically-altered evening of musical theater, the show is scored by Mark Nichols, with libretto by counterculture writer Erik Davis.
