by Molly Korroch - Jan 23, 2018


Composers and librettists were the stars Saturday night at The Kennedy Center's triple world premiere. For six years, the American Opera Initiative Festival (AOI) has selected three composer-librettist teams to create their own 20-minute operas under the guidance of a seasoned composer and librettist.

by Jeffrey Ellis - Mar 17, 2015
