Opera Conference 2016

APPLYING YOUR AESTHETIC VOCABULARY FOR CONTEMPORARY OPERA
Use the vocabulary developed throughout the conference to engage in constructive conversations about your personal and critical response to the New Works Sampler. Gain a deeper understanding of how to articulate your own artistic vision. Then see how it compares or contrasts to a given new work.

Ben Krywosz, artistic director of Nautilus Music-Theater, facilitates discussions utilizing aesthetic language to help producers plan programs, market seasons and engage audiences.

The New Works Forum is a series of sessions that offers insight, practical knowledge and networking opportunities for creators and producers of new opera and musical theater works. The opera industry continues to identify and support the creators of new works while also working to address challenges and opportunities associated with producing in the 21st century.

Advance registration required. No additional fee. Participation in the Wednesday session is not required.

The New Works Forum is made possible by a generous and deeply appreciated grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
