MassOpera and OperaHub have partnered to launch a reimagined New Opera Workshop (NOW) program that will find, foster and produce a contemporary opera led by diverse voices.
A call for submissions is open now through July 15, with creatives of all kinds, with or without opera experience, encouraged to apply.
MassOpera has participated in a number of development programs for operas, but this is the first time the group is producing a show from inception to premiere.
Cassandra Lovering, producing artistic director for MassOpera, says the way the opera is made is crucial to the process.
The NOW program will work with one opera creator (or set of creators) chosen from the open call submissions.
