‘Everest’ is a new kind of comic opera: drama in the form of a graphic novel

Opera and animation may turn out to be natural companions, and the pandemic has unleashed comparable flurries of inventiveness here and there. On July 2, the San Jose company Opera Cultura released “Mi Camina,” an animated short based on composer Héctor Armienta’s song cycle about California farmworkers that’s available to view through Friday, July 16. At Cal State Northridge, a collaboration among the music, film and animation departments produced a combination live-action and animated production of Puccini’s one-act opera “Gianni Schicchi” that premiered online in May.
