SUMMARY:Boston is Writing an Opera! | A Public Workshop with Tracy K. Smith
DESCRIPTION:Boston is Writing an Opera!   \nA FREE Community Opera Public Workshop with poet Tracy K. Smith \nPresented by Boston Lyric Opera in partnership with Boston Symphony Orchestra\, the City of Boston\, and Boston Public Library. \nFebruary 14\, 2026 | 2:00-3:30PM\nBoston Public Library | South Boston Branch\n646 East Broadway\, Boston\, MA 02127 \nREGISTER\nWant to help create a new opera—by Boston\, for Boston? Share your stories!  \nJoin Tracy K. Smith\, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and 22nd Poet Laureate of the United States\, for a community workshop and listening session that invites your voice into the making of a brand-new opera.  \nThis gathering is about more than listening—it’s about authorship. Together\, we’ll explore poetry and storytelling as tools for connection\, reflection\, and collective imagination. Participants will hear poems by Tracy and other contemporary poets\, and will be invited to respond—by speaking\, writing\, or simply sharing what resonates.  \nOver the coming months\, dozens of community listening sessions across the city will inform a libretto shaped directly by the lived experiences of Bostonians. Your stories\, language\, memories\, and questions will help inspire an opera that reflects the richness\, complexity\, and spirit of this city.  \nThe resulting opera—rooted in Boston’s voices and created in partnership with its communities—will premiere at Symphony Hall in May 2027. \nNo previous experience with poetry or opera is required. This space is open to all who feel a connection to Boston—whether lifelong\, newly arrived\, or somewhere in between.  \nCan’t join us in person? Stay tuned for ways to participate virtually and add your voice from wherever you are. \n  \nWHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO  \nARRIVAL  \nThe South Boston Branch is open from 9:00AM – 5:00 PM on Saturday. The workshop space will open at 1:45 PM. Participants are welcome to arrive early to enjoy the library's collections and common spaces. The workshop will be held in a community room just past the children's section from 2:00 – 3:30 PM. Enter through the library's front entrance and turn left to find the space.
