Tesla Rock Opera is composed and devised by Andrej Kljakovic as it was his long everlasting dream. Back in 1998 Andrej worked in London as a producer for a rock opera called Song Divine. Since then he had been building a vision of a man who created a world of electricity and electromagnetism. Interesting enough, the first record that Andrej owned as a child was the music for the Hair Rock Musical and thereafter Quadrophenia and Tommy fallowed.

TESLA ROCK OPERA is a multimedia stage spectacle of the life and works of the great genius Nikola Tesla. Accompanied by a symphony orchestra, vocal/dance ensemble, film excerpts and performances of top singers, it is the story of the upheavals and successes in the life of a man who is indebted to the world for his inventions.

The idea of this project is to promote a prophetic genius and his work. We see this opportunity of re-creating the character of Nikola Tesla for the world to know.

Transfiguration – Multimedia Opera

Tesla Rock Opera creators Andrej Kljakovic and Lino G Rocha are back with their second creation: Transfiguration – Multimedia Opera.

It is a multimedia music play on the life and works of the renaissance painter Raffaelo Sanzio da Urbino, otherwise known as Raphael.

This multimedia play will also feature other giants of the high renaissance period, such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo Bounarotti.

The musical theatre performance will compromise of a vocal/dance ensemble, 3D animation and projections as well as body painting and the latest visual technology which altogether helps to create the illusion of painting coming to life. We want to bring back the Renaissance to the 21st century with a spectacle never before experienced by theatre audiences.

The story is based upon biographical data, controversies, speculations and other forms of interpretations of the lives of those great masters. It is also a reminder of the immortality status of those classic paintings and their authors.

Ars Longa Vita Brevis – Timelessness is the metaphysical field where the points of the past, the present and the future merge into singularity.

We envisage the Transfiguration to be ready for production by the end of 2020.
