The Brain Opera will premiere at the Lincoln Center Summer Festival in New York, from July 23 to August 3. Shows will occur hourly from 1pm to 8pm, each day. Information on how to get tickets will soon appear here. Between now and our Lincoln Center debut, we will be constantly adding new activities to this Web Site, enabling you to:

• prepare and send us music, sounds, text and images
• play realtime interactive music games especially designed for the Net
• shape, stretch manipulate and personalize "Brain Opera" performances, both on the Net and at theaters and concert halls around the world.

We are attempting a lot of things in this project that are pretty new - at least WE are still figuring out how to do them - and that's part of the excitement of the "Brain Opera." A group of about 50 of us - musicians, designers, visual artists, hackers, inventors, etc. - are working on the project here at the MIT Media Lab.

We are building an artistic experience that we hope turns out to be a lot more than the sum of our individual contributions. We'd really like you to join us in contributing to the "Brain Opera" from now until Summer 1996, and then beyond to the millenium. Let's discover how friends and strangers, near and far, online and face-to-face, can make surprisingly beautiful music together!
