The 96-Hour Opera Project: Stories that Resonate is a composition showcase and competition in which teams of composers and librettists will create completely new and compelling 10-minute operas. The competition is designed specifically for composers and librettists from historically underrepresented communities. The 96-Hour Opera Project is only open to those who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian-American, Pacific Islander, Arab-American, Latin-American or other communities of color. Each creative team will create their operas from a single historical theme presented by this year’s story partner, the Atlanta History Center. Founded in 1926, the Atlanta History Center is dedicated to the curation and preservation of the rich history of Atlanta and its surrounding communities. Morehouse College will host the final showcase in partnership with The Atlanta Opera. The event in June 2023 will be held at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College, School of Music. Tickets to this showcase will be made available later this season.
