About Mark Adamo
Mark Adamo first attracted national attention with the libretto and score to his uniquely successful début opera, Little Women, after the novel by Louisa May Alcott. Introduced by Houston Grand Opera in 1998 and revived there in 2000, Little Women has since enjoyed over sixty national and international engagements in cities ranging from New York to Minneapolis, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Adelaide, Mexico City, Tokyo, and the recent European premiere in Belgium (2009) and Canadian premiere in 2010 in Calgary and Banff. It is one of the most frequently performed North American operas of the last decade. Telecast by PBS/WNET on Great Performances in 2001 and released on CD by Ondine that same year, in autumn 2010 Naxos releases the DVD of Little Women's 2001 broadcast. Comparable acclaim greeted the premiere of Lysistrata, or the Nude Goddess, adapted from Aristophanes' comedy but including elements from Sophocles' Antigone. Lysistrata was commissioned by Houston Grand Opera for its 50th anniversary and premiered in March 2005 with additional performances at New York City Opera in 2006. Adamo's latest opera, Becoming Santa Claus, a coming-of-age story of Santa and the importance of acts of kindness, was commissioned by Dallas Opera and premiered in December 2015. A DVD of the premiere production will be produced by Dallas Opera for worldwide release in 2017 with translations in French and German. Adamo was a featured guest composer for the 2016 Thailand International Composition Festival. His music is published exclusively by G. Schirmer, Inc.
