Artist Mitchell F. Chan curated by opera visionary Alexander Neef

“Mitchell has such a boundless creative mind. I find his machine-like sculptures endlessly fascinating. I call his Don Quixote sculpture the 'Brain of Cervantes' because it allows you to follow the creative process. It's really interactive and allows you to be part of the work.”

OPERA VISIONARY • CANADIAN OPERA COMPANY • PARIS OPERA
