You might want to look at the operas of Robert Ashley, which have often
included video components e.g.
http://www.robertashley.org/productions/dust-kitchen.htm
http://www.robertashley.org/productions/perfectlives.htm
There's a DVD of Perfect Lives; afaik there's no video of a performance
of Dust but there is a CD of the audio.
