Calculated Risks Opera Productions, 1990-2002, explored the many roles of music in performance, opera, the use of space and location, new modes of communication, interdisciplinary collaboration involving text, image and the body, and relationships to audiences and community. Its process was group devised from which a performance would be created based on the skills of the participants. The starting point was always the music which served as the platform for points of departure. The history of Calculated Risks Opera Productions is below:
