The Industry/ ‘Sweet Land’

The Industry/ ‘Sweet Land’

The Industry — the ambitious and acclaimed company that represents “the leading edge of operatic innovation” (WIRED) — announces the September 24 album release of Sweet Land, the history-reckoning opera that uses Western culture’s most high-brow medium to dismantle the consecrated myths of colonialism and white hegemony. The subject of fawning praise from The LA Times, The New York Times, and The New Yorker upon its debut in 2020, Sweet Land retains its potency in recorded form, placing emphasis on the striking compositions and cutting libretto that liberates opera from its rigid conventions.
