A Blizzard in Marblehead Neck (Tesori/Kushner)

“I am thrilled to be part of the beauty and artistry that is Glimmerglass, continuing my ongoing collaboration with Tony Kushner to write a piece specifically for Francesca Zambello's debut season."

– Jeanine Tesori, composer

The world premiere of A Blizzard in Marblehead Neck will be inspired by an episode in the life of playwright Eugene O’Neill. This will be the first operatic composition for Jeanine Tesori, who is well-known for her scores on Broadway, including Shrek The Musical and Tony Award-winning Caroline, or Change. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner will provide the original libretto; Kushner is acclaimed for his Tony Award–winning play, Angels in America, which was later turned into a mini-series. His other plays include A Bright Room Called Day, Slavs! and Homebody/Kabul. He wrote the book for Tesori’s Caroline, or Change and the screenplays for Mike Nichols's film Angels in America and Steven Spielberg's Munich.

Later the Same Evening (Musto/Campbell)

"Ultimately, the opera is a love letter to the city and celebrates the serendipity its inhabitants hold sacred...and its belief that love could always be just around the next corner."

–Mark Campbell, librettist

Later the Same Evening imagines the lives of the figures in Hopper’s paintings and weaves a narrative that connects them – both tangentially and directly – on a single night in New York City in 1932. Originally commissioned by the National Gallery of Art, the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and the University of Maryland, Later the Same Evening is a one-act opera inspired by five paintings of American icon Edward Hopper. The opera is written by Pulitzer Prize-nominated composer John Musto and award-winning librettist Mark Campbell, who previously collaborated on the highly successful comic opera, Volpone, for Wolf Trap Opera.
