   Experiments In Opera

   Jan 2025 — Present · New York, NY, US

   Developed in EiO’s The Writers’ Room, Constance: A Confession is a comedic journey following one woman’s devotion to the long art of the con. The opera starts with an act of violence in a grad school art class, and continues as Constance finds work as a psychic, becomes a wellness influencer and grows her online empire into a cult—with deadly consequences. Scored for four singers and all-star experimental ensemble Hypercube, this new opera takes a biting look at the power of storytelling in the hands of a charismatic figure.The Writers’ Room program has been a mainstay of Experiments in Opera’s work over the last eight years as the company has expanded the pool of artists who are making and imagining opera. To date, 45 writers and composers from all backgrounds and experiences have collaborated to break open the historic model of single authorship. In addition to collaborating on the overall story, each episode features music and text by a new pairing formed from the members of the Writers’ Room.Librettists: Susan Bywaters, Lisa Clair, Sam Norman and Ed ValentineComposers: Jasmine Galante, Elizabeth Gartman, Mattie Levy, and Roger A.
