AOP Programs
“The music was much more accessible than I expected it might be. The best part was actually witnessing a work in process and listening to the composer and librettist talk about it and some of the problems they faced and decisions they made. I hope I will be able to attend the next workshop in the fall. I'd like to hear it again.” - AOP audience member

First Chance Series
 AOP’s seasonal program First Chance allows composers and librettists to hear their work in part or in full for the first time before an audience, with live singers and accompaniment. American Opera Projects does not simply bring great operas to the public – we involve them every step of the way.
The program allows the participation of audience members to help hone and adapt new works. Through question and answer sessions to collecting personal feedback, we help artists discover their own unique voices and discover the unique ears for which they are creating.
