Spring Opera: Later the Same Evening
What happens when ordinary lives quietly intersect over the course of a single evening? Drawn from the evocative paintings of Edward Hopper, Later the Same Evening transforms still images into intimate, overlapping human stories set in mid-century New York. Composed by John Musto with a libretto by Mark Campbell, this American chamber opera has earned national and international recognition for its cinematic structure, lyrical score, and deeply human storytelling.
