SoBe Arts presents the World Premiere of
TESLA
MIAMI BEACH, FL —This September, SoBe Arts, in partnership with the historic Colony
Theatre Miami Beach, will present the world premiere of TESLA, a multidisciplinary opera about
the exceptional life, explorations and brilliant inventions of Nikola Tesla. The creation of TESLA
was launched by composer Carson Kievman in 1986 at the Eugene O'Neil Music Theater
Conference. Playwright Thomas Babe and. Carson Kievman co -wrote the libretto in the 1990s
and two scenes were workshopped at the New York City Opera Vox Festival in 2004 by
Encompass New Opera Theater, John Yaffe conductor. The Libretto was slightly revised (with
the assistance of Mark David Needle) and the score was completed in April 2016.
For the world premiere production, SoBe Arts has engaged part of the creative team from 2015's
monumental triumph INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS, the surrender of self in mystical contemplation
and 2014's sensation FAIRY TALES, Songs o, f the Dandelion Woman, as well as some exciting
new additions to our company.
With stage direction by Jeffrey Marc Buchman, music direction by Mary Adelyn Kaufman,
choreography by Rosa Mercedes, scenic and properties design by Stephan Morayski, projection
design by Paul DiPierro, lighting design by Jeffrey Bruckerhoff, costume design by Nuria
Carrasco Dominguez, makeup and wigs by Emily Manis, Nikola Testa's life story will be told
with music, electrifying scenic design, mapped digital projections, and poetic storytelling via an
exquisitely crafted libretto. The production will employ 9 principal vocalists, a 6 member chorus,
and a 25 piece chamber orchestra.
Tessa was an immigrant whose transformative ideas challenged the staid society, inherited
wealth, and power structure of the Gilded Age. It brings to life the revolutionary race with
Thomas Edison to fuel a new era of electricity, and the portentous aftermath: from the peak of
worldly renown, Nikola Tesla pursues relentless dreams of tapping natural forces that could
further liberate mankind, but instead lead to his earthly demise. A true visionary, Tesla gave
away a vast number of patents and royalties that were fossil fuel -consuming, and pursued the
`Tesla Coil' to connect humanity to the very wheelwork of nature and allow the extraction of
free and non-polluting energy for all. A peer of Mark Twain (our narrator), Thomas Edison,
George Westinghouse and J.P. Morgan (all characters in the opera) he nonetheless died a pauper,
crushed by the greed and hunger for power of his contemporaries.
Einstein was once
asked how
to be the smartes
man alive.
Einstein's reply
was 't don'tknow
you'll have to ask
Nikola Tesla.'
Nikola Tesla moved to Colorado Springs in 1899 to work on the Tesla coil, a self-perpetuating
dynamo that could produce free and safe non-polluting energy. At his lab, Tesla proved that the
earth was a conductor of energy and he produced artificial lightning that could discharge millions
of volts of energy. High energy explosions mortified the community nearby who ultimately tore
down his lab and sold the materials scrap in order to cover Tesla's debts. He then moved back to
New York City begging for funding and from Morgan and Westinghouse and others to continue
his critical research he soundly rejected as they were already making a fortune off of his early
inventions. In the end, he lived quietly, continuing to create futuristic but unrealized, inventions
until he died of heart failure alone in the New Yorker Hotel, on 7 January 1943. His papers were
confiscated by the FBI at the request of J Edgar Hoover and analyzed by Donald Trump's uncle
who then buried them in the classified vaults. Later that year the US Supreme Court upheld
Tesla's patent number 645576 in a ruling that served as the basis for patented radio technology in
the United States. For the next 70 years Tesla remained almost entirely forgotten.
Tesla's radical visions of scientific potential and capitalist reform, which led to his rise as well as
his downfall, resonate even more powerfully in the 21st century.
Ironically, Tesla's prophetic work framed the worlds portrayed in science fiction and also formed.
the foundation for modern-day wireless energy transfer, wireless communications, laser beams,
neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission, remote control, x-rays, robotics and much
more. Nikola Tesla's life story will be told with music, carefully mapped digital animations,
mechanical/electrical staging, and poetic storytelling via an exquisitely crafted libretto. The
production will employ 9 principal vocalists, a 6 member chorus, a 25 piece chamber orchestra,
stage and music directors, costume, scenic, mechanical, lighting, and projection animation
design.

TESLA is being shaped by our brilliant creative team, including:
Carson Kievman's work follows an independent course that blends new music with the theatrical, visual
and literary arts. His symphonies, operas, chamber music, music -theater and experimental works have
been performed internationally in stage, concert, dance, and museum settings, from SoBe Arts to the
Berkeley Art Museum; the Pennsylvania Ballet (Philadelphia), The Public Theater (New York City), the
Rote Fabrik (Zurich), the Tanglewood Music Festival (Lenox), and the Nationaltheater Mannheim.
Kievman has created 23 multimedia music -theater works, including 7 full length stage works, such as
California Mystery Park, Hamlet, TESLA and Intelligent Systems (commissioned by a fellowship from
The National Endowment for the Arts and the Donaueschingen Music Festival, Germany).
Thomas Babe (1951-2000) Thomas Babe's plays Rebel Women, A Prayer for My Daughter, Taken in
Marriage, Fathers and Sons, Salt Lake City Skyline, and Buried Inside Extra were first produced by
Joseph Papp and the New York Shakespeare Festival. In the musical theater, he wrote the text for Twyla
Tharp's When We Were Very Young and the libretto for TESLA (music by Carson Kievman). Babe and
Kievman worked on the storyboard and outline for TESLA opera together and the libretto was completed
by Babe (and Kievman) prior to his premature death from cancer on December 6, 2000. Babe was one of
a group of 70s US playwrights who laid the ground for the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Aaron Sorkin.
Like David Mamet and Sam Shepard, his plays contain half -crazed but intelligent, articulate characters.
Darker passions of the human soul feature strongly.
Jeffrey Marc Buchman Building on his previous successes directing the world premieres of Carson
Kievman's Fairy Tales: Songs of the Dandelion Woman, and Intelligent Systems: the surrender ofsSelf in
mystical contemplation, Jeffrey Marc Buchman returns to SoBe Arts to create the world premiere of
Tesla. Opera News calls him "a formidable talent." Constantly pushing the limits of the performing arts,
Mr. Buchman's versatility leads him to a variety of venues to revisit opera's classics while regularly
premiering new works. His innovation puts him at the forefront of a new era in directing.
Mary Adelyn Kauffman conductor enjoyed a free-lance career in Hamburg and Berlin before accepting
her first position as assistant conductor and vocal coach at the City Theater in Hildesheim, Germany, in
2001. Before then, she toured with the Wolfgang Bocksch and Stella musical theater companies and
coached at the Mozarteum, Sangerakademie and State Theater in Hamburg. In 2014 she was music
director for the world premiere of Carson Kievman's multimedia chamber opera Fairy Tales, Songs of the
Dandelion Woman and in 2015 she was the music director for Intelligent Systems, the surrender of self in
mystical contemplation.
Rosa Mercedes Jeffrey Marc Buchman's collaborations with his wife and renowned choreographer Rosa
Mercedes (who choreographed the world premiere of Intelligent Systems: the surrender of self in mystical
contemplation) have resulted in over 20 acclaimed productions. The New York Times praises Rosa
Mercedes' work as "hypnotically precise", Dance Magazine calls her a "virtuoso" and New York
Magazine says she is "a delight, with lots of sparkle and tremendous elegance".
