This month operamission presents extended excerpts from two of Clint Borzoni‘s operatic output.
The first is part of OPERA America’s New Works Forum being held at the National Opera Center on Thursday, January 12. The event is open to forum attendees only. Please contact us if you would like to receive more details on the work.
We are presenting Exchanges Four and Five of Clint’s When Adonis Calls, an opera in Five Exchanges for two baritones, two male dancers, string quartet, and percussion. It was performed fully staged with the dancers and ensemble, directed and choreographed by the librettist John de los Santos and conducted by Jennifer Peterson.

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.
