To inaugurate the Project Pipeline initiative at Glimmerglass, the opera-in-progress The House on Mango Street will have its first public performance on Aug. 12. The Pipeline’s purpose is to help composers—in this case, composer Derek Bermel and librettist Sandra Cisneros—develop new works while allowing opera-lovers to witness the process. https://glimmerglass.org/events/pipeline-preview-the-house-on-mango-street/
