New Opera
TURN AND BURN in Houston
February 2022 with Houston Grand Opera’s HGOco, Houston TX
{I’m writing the libretto for a commissioned chamber opera through Houston Grand Opera’s HGOco program!
In my first collaboration with composer Nell Shaw Cohen, we’ll be telling an original story about feminism and modern rodeo culture, informed by interviews with contemporary Texans. Yeah, that’s right: it’s a Feminist. Rodeo. Opera.
Small-town barrel racing champion Shayla Taylor and her sponsor, powerful businesswoman Jamie Mendoza, aim for a big win at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. When tragedy threatens Shayla’s career-defining race, the women discover each other’s strength in adversity.
