Dear Opera Companies, Opera America is now accepting applications for opera com. members who want to commission women composers, so if your company is interested in PROTECTRESS, THE TARDIGRADE PRESENTS THE END OF THE WORLD, or SWEET ANNA, let me know. These are all projects I have w/women composers.

Sound on!! Listen to a snippet from the opera that nods to Pink Floyd, and hear composer Andre Fratto talk about how his influences range from Puccini to Classic Rock 🤘🏻

12/12 So what’s happening in European #newopera? From my snapshot perspective, directors are taking chances, companies are hugely investing in risk, creating new gems, & (mostly) reaping rewards. Artists are employed! Crowds are impressed! Opera is thriving!

#Opera Lyric Opera of Melbourne’s Song from the Uproar (Missy Mazzoli) is a daring, finely crafted triumph at fortyfivedownstairs: text-as-art staging, a superb 5-voice chorus, and a riveting Olivia Federow‑Yemm, steered by Patrick Burns. Seen it? Share your take. #Melbourne #NewOpera
