This month operamission presents extended excerpts from two of Clint Borzoni‘s operatic output.
Then on Friday, January 20, Clint’s music was featured at La MaMa in the East Village, and we were thrilled to present a 30 minute set of excerpts from his full-length opera Antinous and Hadrian, a romantic tragedy.
operamission thanks the following artists for their parts in building this creative process: David Bakamjian, Jessica Bowers, Cory Clines, Paul Goodwin-Groen, Nicole Guberman, Jennifer Roberts Jenkins, Brennan Hall, Adam Klein, Brooke Larimer, Ben Matus, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, Brendan Ratchford, Jordan Rutter, Kimberly Sogioka, Christopher Sokolowski, Matthew Truss, Amelia Watkins, and Michael Weyandt. And thank you to John Flood at the NYPL for hosting us and inviting us back each month!
