Works & Process will present a performance of excerpts and a panel discussion from Washington National Opera’s O’Keeffe: Kiss the Sky on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, at 7 p.m. The event takes place at the Peter B. Lewis Theater, located at 1071 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The opera-ballet features music by composer Christopher Tin, a libretto by Kelley Rourke, and choreography by Jessica Lang. The story traces the artistic journey of painter Georgia O’Keeffe and highlights the individuals who influenced her life and career.
The evening will feature live performance excerpts by mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, tenor William Burden, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Bishop, pianist Tongyao Li, and a company of dancers. Following the performance, artistic director Francesca Zambello, Tin, Rourke, and Lang will participate in a conversation about their collaboration, which concludes with a reception in the venue’s rotunda.
Tickets for the event start at $15 and can be purchased online through Works & Process. The preview precedes the world premiere of the full production, scheduled for March 2027 in Washington, D.C., with tickets available through Washington National Opera.
Works & Process is a performing arts organization that produces creative residencies and behind-the-scenes programs blending artist discussion and performance. Washington National Opera commissioned O’Keeffe: Kiss the Sky, with major production support provided by Denise Littlefield Sobel, the Halff Windham Foundation, and The Edgar Foster Daniels Foundation.
