Troubleshooting
a Micro-Opera by John Carroll
November 2 at 3:00PM
Under the direction of Mark Evans, students from SUNY Schenectady present Troubleshooting, a poignant and humorous micro-opera by alum John Carroll, at Hubbard Hall, 25 East Main Street in Cambridge, NY.
This 40-minute chamber work for two voices and piano follows a phone call between Sam, a lonely young adult struggling to connect, and Rory, a volunteer social worker with challenges of their own. The opera reflects the emotional complexity and isolation often experienced by those who feel out of step with conventional social expectations.
Drawing from his own experience as an autistic artist, Carroll wrote Troubleshooting to explore themes of loneliness, communication, and the human need for connection. While rooted in deeply personal truths, the piece speaks to anyone who has ever felt unseen or misunderstood, and offers hope, validation, and moments of unexpected joy.
