The American Lyric Theater's 2017 Holiday Auction is now closed. Thank you to all our bidders who supported our Composer Librettist Development Program with this year's auction.

WHAT YOUR BID WILL SUPPORT?

This year, ALT welcomes three composers, three librettists and our first dramaturg apprentice to the Composer Librettist Development Program (CLDP). These artists will spend over 260 hours in class and workshops this season. In addition to supporting our CLDP and these amazing artists, your bid will also support eight artists working on four new operas:

  • The Life and Death(s) of Alan Turing, a historical fantasia on the life of the groundbreaking computer scientist, Alan Turing, by Justine F. Chen and David Simpatico
  • The Halloween Tree, adapted from the Ray Bradbury novel, by Theo Popov and Tony Asaro
  • Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Fallen Giant, a mash-up of Sherlock Holmes mysteries and fairy tales, by Evan Meier and E.M. Lewis. 
  • La Reina, an electro-acoustic opera with text in Spanish and English, inspired by the violent drug trade across the Mexico and United States border, by Jorge Sosa and Laura Sosa Pedroza.

Thank you for supporting our resident artists!

WHAT IS AMERICAN LYRIC THEATER?

American Lyric Theater (ALT) was founded in 2005 to build a new body of operatic repertoire for new audiences by nurturing composers and librettists, developing sustainable artistic collaborations, and contributing new works to the national canon.

ALT is not an opera company by any traditional definition. Many opera companies commission and perform new works; but ALT is the only company in the United States that offers extensive, full time mentorship for emerging operatic writers. While the traditional company model focuses on producing a season, ALT's programs focus on serving the needs of artists, developing new works, and collaborating with producing companies to help usher those works into the repertoire.
