Sam’s one act opera, Beach and Moan will be performed by the Hartford Opera Theater on November 9, 2014.

Hartford Opera Theater’s New in November festival was established in 2010 with a two-fold mission: to seek out and encourage contemporary opera composers and to create an opportunity for the community to experience performances of these new works. Each year, a committee reviews a competitive pool of submissions and selects 6 10 minute operas to create an evening of short operatic vignettes. The preparation for New in November is reminiscent of a 24 hour play festival in that the operas are brought from “page to stage” in a condensed and intense period. HOT is extremely proud of New in November and feels that it truly exemplifies their motto, “Opera for Everyone.”
