I have so many things to write about: four Hoffmann productions;
a Lucia di Lammermoor; a Flying Dutchman; the new La Clemenza di Tito audio recording. But this
item needs immediate attention and requires no commentary from me. New York City Opera seeks a transgender singer to create a role in a new
opera.
About Stonewall
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the event, Stonewall is a moving and explosive new American opera that captures the rage, grit, humor and, finally, hope of the LGBTQ community’s uprising in a Greenwich Village dance club on one hot night in June 1969. The work follows a diverse group of characters whose lives collide at that pivotal moment in history when the police push them too far and they find the courage to fight back.
