"When she wasn&amp;#146;t busy collecting art, fomenting literary movements, and dissing Oakland, Gertrude Stein used her inimitable talents to help create a most inimitable opera &amp;#151; 1934&amp;#146;s Four Saints in Three Acts. Tonight, this vision is taken up in a new production by Ensemble Parall&amp;egrave;le, which further ups the avant-garde quotient by opening with the premiere of A Heavenly Act, a multimedia &amp;#147;opera-installation&amp;#148; by composer Luciano Chessa and artist Kalup Linzy that reinterprets the themes and content of Four Saints, and aims to create an aesthetic dialogue with Stein and Virgil Thomson&amp;#146;s work."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
