Works & Process will present VOX: American Voices Opera Lab on Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, 1071 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan. The event explores the history, relaunch, and future of VOX, an initiative for new American operas that is returning after a long hiatus.
The program includes a public conversation with panelists from the institutions in the newly formed VOX consortium. It also features brief piano-and-vocal excerpts from each of the four finalists’ works. The excerpts will be performed by artists from the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, Mannes School of Music, and Manhattan School of Music. A reception in the rotunda follows.
The 2027 finalists are Desert Bloom, by composer Gillian Rae Perry and librettist Mo Holmes, and Robeson/Moscow, by composer and co-librettist Scott Davenport Richards and co-librettist David Cote. The others are The Wedding Banquet, by composer Huang Ruo and librettist James Schamus, and Fallingwater, by composer Joshua Schmidt and librettist Dick Scanlan.
The works-in-progress will be presented at the VOX Showcase on Thursday, April 1, 2027, at the Perelman Center for the Performing Arts (PAC NYC). Soloists, a full orchestra, and a chorus will perform substantial excerpts of 20 to 30 minutes from each opera.
Tickets for the Works & Process event start at $15 and are available here.
