“Our newest initiative brings fresh operatic works to the Maryland Opera stage. The evening features a double bill of works by up and coming composers as well as a pre-show introduction to these stories and a post-show Q&A with the composers. We are thrilled to work with these talented creators to bring something brand new to our stage. More details to come!”  – Maryland Opera
