Hartford Opera Theater is pleased to present our 9th annual New in November Festival on Sunday, November 18 at 7:00pm. The performance will be at the Cathedral House at Christ Church Cathedral in historic downtown Hartford, directly across the street from Hartford Stage. HOTOpera is the only opera company that exclusively performs in the city of Hartford. This year, we will be performing the following works: The Loathly Lady by Paul Richards, Coal Creek by Dawn Sonntag, A Bridge For Three by Nathan Fletcher, and Triangle by Tony Solitro. **This year's New in November contains adult themes. Recommended for ages 16 and up.**
Hartford Opera Theater’s New in November festival was established in 2010 with a two-fold mission: to seek out and encourage contemporary opera composers and to create an opportunity for the community to experience performances of these new works. Each year, a committee reviews a competitive pool of submissions and selects 4-6 10 minute operas to create an evening of short operatic vignettes. The preparation for New in November is reminiscent of a 24 hour play festival in that the operas are brought from "page to stage" in a condensed and intense period. Once rehearsals begin, we assemble artists from many disciplines: singers, pianists, composers, directors, and conductors who collaborate to make New in November a fun and thought-provoking evening.
