After two years in development, we proudly present the first world premiere emerging from this program with Norris & Ebo’s Forsyth County is Flooding (with the Joy of Lake Lanier). The 96-Hour Opera Project Showcase is open to the public, and five more world-premiere mini-operas are presented to the judging panel in an exciting race for the Antinori Foundation Grand prize. — Atlanta Opera
