Opera Bites is back! BOC’s wildly popular evening of short operas performed in a cabaret setting returns with 7 brand-new commissions!

It’s a delicious program of bite-sized opera — 10-minute pieces performed in English and accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble — along with refreshments and libations.

Join BOC for a fabulous evening of opera in Pickman Hall at the Longy School of Music! This production includes eight 10-minute operas written by contemporary American composers, six of which were commissioned and workshopped during Opera Bites: In the Studio.

These operas include:

"A Long Trip" by Jordan Kuspa and Dan McGeehan
"A Tall Order" by John Greer and Sheri Wilner
"Courthouse Bells" Mary D. Watkins and Anita Gonzalez
"The Course We Set" by Johanny Navarro and Amy Tofte
"Crush Play" by Tony Solitro and Joshua Brown
"Hamlet Investigations, Inc." by Jonathan Shin and Ellen Abrams
"In the House of Serenity" by Beth Ratay and Laura Fuentes
"Last Train" by Carlos Carrillo and Enzo Silon Surin
