In this interactive workshop, composer Tobias Picker (Emmeline, An American Tragedy, Dolores Claiborne) will help us understand the evolution of a new opera in the 21st century, from getting a commission to choosing a subject to collaborating with a librettist. San Francisco Opera Director of Music Administration Clifford (Kip) Cranna will moderate the session and discuss commissions from an opera company’s point of view. Audio and video examples will illustrate how operas build on their literary sources and transform them into a new art form.
