LAUNCHING A SCIENCE-FICTION OPERA/MUSICAL THAT WILL IMPACT ALL OF OUR LIVES.
<p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>THE FIRST OPERA ABOUT CONTACT, UFO'S, AND HUMANITY'S FUTURE.</strong></p> <p><strong>CIVILIZATION ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE. ONE COUPLE STANDS UP TO THE DARKNESS. ONLY LOVE</strong><strong> STANDS BETWEEN THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT. ROSWELL.</strong></p> <p>Hi. I’m Eric Scot Fydler. I am part of a group of talented writers, producers and directors who support my vision of a bold new concept in theater, which we are originating from San Diego. We have already produced several successful musical theater events (<em>Dracula, The Magical Forest</em>) and earned 44 nominations for our outstanding work. Our next project is “The Roswell Trilogy”, the first science fiction opera. But we need your help to begin the production.</p> <p>We need to raise $80,000 to cover the cost of pre-production, securing our venue (initially the Spreckels Theater in San Diego) and supporting the cast and crew. So we're turning to our strongest supporters to ask for contributions. In exchange, we're offering tickets to our opening night performance and a program signed by all the players and the writer, a CD of the show, memorabilia and more. Your contribution will help us bring the story of Roswell, alien contact, and a new future to a broader audience and in a new creative form: science-fiction opera. After the San Diego premiere we plan to form a company that will tour the country with this exciting new production, and you can help make it happen! Thanks!</p> <p>Here’s additional information about me and our team.</p> <p><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="color: #222222;">I'm a mult</span><span style="color: #222222;">i</span><strong><span style="color: #222222;">-</span></strong><span style="color: #222222;">award winning/and nominated composer, writer, director, producer, (</span><span style="color: #222222;">Book, Music, Lyrics) o</span><span style="color: #222222;">f </span><span style="color: #222222;">stage mus</span><span style="color: #222222;">icals.

Designers, arrangers, actors. The mission - bring opera to the people in a startling new story spanning two hundred years in compelling music.</p> <div> <p><strong> "The Roswell Trilogy" is a psychological thriller and cautionary science fiction tale. A tale of hope and a tale of doomsday told over three nights in three separate operas. The first opera about contact, extraterrestrials, and humanity's destiny.</strong></p> <p>WHAT IF WE'RE NOT ALONE. DOOMSDAY OR UTOPIA.</p> </div> <p> Millions of us wonder about it. Since I was a child I've been fascinated and consumed by it. In my life I've had the opportunity to talk to many inquiring scientists, writers, artists. Such visionaries as: Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Timothy Leary, NASA consultant Edward Belbruno, and more. I've met assistant directors of MUFON and<span> </span>I was introduced to abductee Licia Davidson. I clicked instantly with each one, and each one supported my vision of opera/musical as a new vehicle to convey the future.</p> <p> Now, I'm taking my years of skill as a writer, composer, producer and applying it to tell this story in a musical/opera hybrid. Using operatic devices - recitative, leitmotifs, arias, and new music inventions, animal speech, weather sounds, I will tell this classic American story, now folklore, of UFO's, aliens, levitation, of government cover-ups, untapped secret powers, gritty seduction, of advanced intelligence, and a love story, The legend of "Roswell". In beautiful, memorable, compelling music.</p> <p> <strong>The first science fiction opera</strong>. The trilogy begins in 1947 and revolves around Mac Brazel - an ordinary rancher who finds the crash debris and I believe was contacted, and empowered with alien intelligence. The entire town, hypnotized, shares a mass hallucination. What happens next is mind-boggling!</p> <p> <strong>I want to bring SHATTERING opera to everyone.</strong> </p> <p>We're bringing it on with full-on orchestra, full-on special effects 3-D holograms, falling meteors, star bridges, aliens, putting the audience in - <em>wonder - mode,</em> live, every night!</p> <p>LISTEN TO THE MUSIC OF ANOTHER WORLD.</p> <p> With your support, we will reach a diverse audience - visitors to Comic-Con, UFO enthusiasts, travelers from around the world, local San Diegans and Los Angeleno's, and continue the work of exploring this legendary story and marrying it with cutting edge technology and emotional performance. <em>The Roswell Trilogy</em> may be the future of opera.
