Ep. 160: 21st-Century Opera Survey, Part 1, with Naomi Barrettara & Elspeth Davis
What will opera look like, or sound like, in 10 years? 20 years? It\u2019s hard to predict, but one thing is for sure: there\u2019s a whole new generation of composers creating new innovations in expression, composition, and performance. For this episode of The Metropolitan Opera Guild Podcast, we have pulled a series of live event recordings from our archives to share, featuring lecturers Naomi Barrettara and Elspeth Davis as they guide us through a two-part survey of contemporary works that are poised to be future classics of the genre. \n\nDate of event recording: 2017-18 season. \nTimeline referenced in the lecture can be found at https://prezi.com/p1gza7i3aknm/opera-history-timeline/ .
