These exciting one-act operas were created through the Virginia Arts’ Festival’s John Duffy institute for New Opera. 

Nkeiru Okoye’s Briar Patch, the first in a rebooted triptych of short operas is family friendly and full of fun, paying tribute to the African tradition of storytelling for all ages. 

The wry and witty Companionship by Rachel Peters sings the story of an aspiring baker who finally reaches the end of her obsessive quest to bake the perfect baguette when the 207,305th one suddenly comes to life
