Works & Process champions performing artists and their creative process from studio to stage. See highlights from Boston Lyric Opera’s The Seasons prior to the world premiere in March 2025 in Boston. Written by Tony Award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl and co-conceived with countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, the work centers on a group of contemporary artists who come to a retreat in nature to make their art, but extreme weather impacts them without warning and changes their lives forever. Excerpts from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, paired with additional arias and ensemble works by the composer, become an occasion for seeing our own disordered seasons more clearly. Directed by Zack Winokur, with choreography by Pam Tanowitz, The Seasons is a meditation on the relationship between our contemporary moment and Vivaldi’s iconic music. Ruhl, Costanzo, Winokur, and Tanowitz will participate in a moderated discussion with BLO Artistic Director Nina Yoshida Nelsen, and excerpts from the opera will be performed.
