GODSPEED Rock Opera is set to premier in Los Angeles, California, on August 21 through 23. An original rock opera written and produced by Sammy Oriti, the opera premier is scheduled for The El Portal Theatre in the North Hollywood Arts District. Presented by Galpin Ford, the highly anticipated event offers exclusive experiences including the epic biblical portrayal with full cast and live music, Prince Lorenzo de Medici presenting the Vatican-approved recreation of Michelangelo's Pieta, motivational speaker and life coach Tim Storey, and a Saving Innocence Benefit in one inspiring weekend.
"GODSPEED is composed lyrically from scripture without deviating from the holy text," said Sammy Oriti. "It is appropriate for all walks of life and Christian denominations with a running time of 90 minutes."
The production is presented live on stage complete with a six piece progressive band, a cast of 22 actors, singers and dancers, with digital projections that bring key characters of the Bible to the stage in a powerful combination of visual and musical performances.
Prince Lorenzo de Medici, a descendant of Italy's famous Medici Dynasty who were patrons of Michelangelo Buonarroti, will be presenting with Arte Divine the Vatican-approved exact replica of Michelangelo's "La Pieta" funded by entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard G. Stewart. Prince Lorenzo's own original Renaissance inspired artworks will also be on display.
Tim Storey, Life Coach and Motivational Speaker, whom USA Today calls the "Pastor to the Stars", will be speaking and hosting GODSPEED on opening night August 21 at 8PM. Quincy Jones has called him "the world's voice of inspiration" while Oprah shared her fondness for his work when she interviewed him on her award-winning show "Super Soul Sunday".
Saving Innocence is an organization for advocacy of youth ranging in ages 11-17 who were rescued from domestic sex trafficking. The organization provides the critical crisis response and advocacy for each rescued child. Amber Davies, Clinical Services Supervisor, will present her touching story on Saturday, August 22 at GODSPEED's at the 3PM and 8PM showings that benefit Saving Innocence.
