Metal + Mozart
A futuristic twist on a classical favorite.
Join us at Spot Lite Detroit for a FREE one-of-a-kind musical experience that blends centuries-old opera with cutting-edge sound technology.
Metal + Mozart features Detroit Opera’s Resident Artists performing live selections from Mozart’s Così fan tutte, accompanied by Slendrotron—a robot-powered percussion instrument inspired by the traditional Indonesian gamelan. Think shimmering metal gongs, intricate rhythms, and unexpected textures, all controlled by shifting algorithms.
It’s opera like you’ve never heard it before—part classical, part electronic, totally unforgettable.
