InsightALT - THE SHADOW
Composer: Ivette Herryman Rodríguez
Librettist: Samuel Norman
Developed under the auspices of the Composer Librettist Development Program at American Lyric Theater
CONDUCTOR: Kelly Kuo
A simple experiment goes terribly wrong. A man accidentally detaches himself from his shadow, which flits off into the night. No matter how hard he tries, he’s unable to recover it, and eventually he is forced to move on… until the evening he receives an unexpected visitor. Adapted from the twisted tale by Hans Christian Andersen, THE SHADOW explores the fragility of identity, and how easily reality itself can be usurped by a good story.

ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST | World Premiere Staging
Music by Alessandro Stradella
New English text by Bari Biern
Co-production with Catapult Opera
October 2025
340 Maple Dr. Washington, DC| Baltimore Theater Project
From the pen of one of the most audacious, salacious, and extraordinary composers ever to live (whose life was so fantastical that multiple operas were composed about it), comes this 17th century version of the biblical Salome story. Every bit as compelling, gruesome, and at once horrifying and intoxicating as the Oscar Wilde play written over two centuries later, this oratorio has become infamous for its incredible score, unlike any other music, and its dramatic power. It marked even the concert debut of a young Maria Callas in 1947 singing the role of the stepdaughter Salome who demands of Herod the head of John the Baptist, and will do anything to get it. Written as a concert work, this production marks the first time Stradella’s masterpiece is brought to life on the stage.
Staunton Festival, Handel’s Messiah
Handel’s Messiah , Staunton Festival opening concert
Free preconcert talk begins at 6:45pm
Doors open 7:00 | All seating is reserved
The 2025 Summer Festival opens with a rare opportunity to experience Handel’s complete Messiah as a staged performance directed by Timothy Nelson. Regarded today as one of Handel's unparalleled masterworks, Messiah came together in fits and starts and never enjoyed widespread popularity during the composer's lifetime. Since then, however, it has become a globel icon of musical grandeur and - for many - a traditional signpost in the liturgical year. Few listeners have experienced Messiah as a staged "opera," complete with props and costumes, though there is a great deal of spectacle inherent in the story.
Vocal soloists, chorus, and Baroque period-instrument ensemble under the direction of Carsten Schmidt. Stage director Timothy Nelson serves as Artistic Director of the acclaimed InSeries company in Washington DC.
American Lyric Theater’s “Opera in Eden”
TICKETS:
https://www.symphonyspace.org/events/vp-opera-in-eden
American Lyric Theater presents three new one-act operas in concert written by Resident Artists in the Composer Librettist Development Program:
FOURTH WAVE BEAUTY QUEENS
Composer: Kathleen Tagg; Librettist: Laura Barati
FOURTH WAVE BEAUTY QUEENS delves into the relationship between Délia, a feminist academic researching extreme beauty treatments, and her mother, Flora. When Délia receives rare prototypes of the latest, miracle anti-aging and weight loss treatments as a gift, she and Flora are forced to face their ultimate temptations. A darkly comedic mother-daughter story, FOURTH WAVE BEAUTY QUEENS explores the competing desires and gordian knot of living within the female gaze.
GIOVANNI/A
Composer: Del’Shawn Taylor; Librettist: C.S. Hanson
Secrets. Forbidden love. Dreams that dare not be told. Within the confines of a Benedictine monastery in 16th century Padua, monks Nico and Giovanni are devoted to work and prayer until attraction threatens their peaceful existence. The Abbot, no stranger to friendly spying, just wants to keep things in order. When secrets are unleashed, Giovanni’s truth boldly challenges the rules of the monastic community.
THE SHADOW
Composer: Ivette Herryman Rodríguez; Librettist: Samuel Norman
A simple experiment goes terribly wrong. A man accidentally detaches himself from his shadow, which flits off into the night. No matter how hard he tries, he’s unable to recover it, and eventually he is forced to move on… until the evening he receives an unexpected visitor.)Adapted from the twisted tale by Hans Christian Andersen, THE SHADOW explores the fragility of identity, and how easily reality itself can be usurped by a good story.

Catapult Opera’s San Giovanni Battista
San Giovanni Battista (St. John the Baptist) by Alessandro Stradella is the Baroque version of the Salome story, which is perhaps the most profane story in the New Testament. In it, the princess Salome, at the behest of her mother, demands the head of St. John the Baptist in return for services rendered to her stepfather Herod, the King of Judea. (Whether those services were a dance or something more intimate depends on which version of the story you read).
Stradella’s opera was composed in 1675, 230 years before the story was immortalized by Richard Strauss, and 10 years before the birth of Bach, Scarlatti, and Handel. In fact, Handel was so struck by the brilliance of Stradella's score, he purchased a copy for his personal collection. Plus, the role of Salome was the first professional role sung by a young Maria Callas. Though composed as an oratorio, Catapult Opera’s production of San Giovanni Battista will be the American stage premiere of this masterpiece.

Stage and Musical Direction by Timothy Nelson
Choreography by Hari Krisnan
Design by Deb Sivigny, Kathryn Kawecki, Paul Callahan
The final part of IN Series’ Monteverdi trilogy, Poppea brings the composer’s most famous and audacious final opera of love, power, sex, and betrayal to life inspired by the performance tradition of South India, and specifically Bharatanatyam dance. This landmark production, running March 14-30 at Dupont Underground, St. Mark’s Capitol Hill and Baltimore Theatre Project, is of one of opera’s undisputed masterpieces. IN Series’ production will be a collaboration with Indian-Canadian choreographer Hari Krishnan, whose work brilliantly combines the aesthetics of this traditional dance form with contemporary movement and questions of gender norms. The work will be directed and conducted by IN Series Artistic Director Timothy Nelson and feature a cast of local favorites and international artists known for their interpretations of opera of the Baroque. The INnovātiō Orchestra, IN Series’ own period baroque band, will blend music of South India in an evening of whirling passion, music, poetry, and dance. Opening night will be a celebration of the Indian festival of Holi.
