Happy opening to CU Bouler Eklund Opera Program's CU NOW Workshop! 🎶

CU NOW is often a student’s first professional opportunity to implement their academically prepared skills in a familiar setting with Eklund Opera support staff. 🎼

This year, CU NOW welcomes Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy Award-winning librettist Mark Campbell, a CU Boulder alum, together with Italian composer Alberto Caruso, for a workshop of “The Late Signor Zanetti,” a comic thriller set in Venice in 1823. 🤩

When the titular character, a horologist, attempts to repair a pocket watch left in his shop by a mysterious stranger, the activities of his typical evening take a surprising and surreal twist. 🕰️

The Composer Fellows’ Initiative (CFI) inspires College of Music composition students to explore the opera medium under professional mentorship. Participating composers’ short opera scenes develop under the guidance of CU NOW industry titans and are then rehearsed, staged, costumed and performed within the summer festival of CU NOW.

This summer will feature student composers (list composers).

CFI Composers:
Indigo Farmer
Glenda Luck
Leah Porter Tracy
Luka Vezmar

CU NOW Singing Artists:
Ruby Anderson
Hannah Benson
Alice Del Simone
Reagan Hinze
Andrew Konopak
Carrina Macaluso
Tyler Middleton
Miguel Ángel Ortega Bañales
Marcus Schaller
