Lyrics by Jon Hartmere


 

bare is the coming-of-age story of a group of high school seniors at a Catholic boarding school. Knowing their stay in this insular world is drawing to a close, each must face the question "What next?" Answers are sought in the church confessional, and in less formal confessionals: on stage, at a rave, and in the privacy of a well-locked dorm room. There, secrets crash about and settle, to be picked up by whoever is ready to further the journey. Almost entirely sung-through, bare is an opera drawing on all styles of contemporary music.
