SUMMARY:Chautauqua Opera Company workshops: Ida by Lamplight and Sitcom
DESCRIPTION:IDA BY LAMPLIGHT\nIDA BY LAMPLIGHT is the third chamber opera to be realized from Jerre Dye’s anthology libretto THE SUMMER PLACE\, commissioned by the Chautauqua Opera Guild\, which captures Chautauqua Institution’s history from its founding through today. Jeremy Gill\, Chautauqua Opera Company’s 2016 composer-in-residence\, will set the 20-minute score. IDA BY LAMPLIGHT invites the audience into the office of THE CHAUTAUQUAN\, late one night in 1886. Ida Tarbell\, managing editor of THE CHAUTAUQUAN\, and Kate Kimball\, an early leader of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) read and answer letters to the nascent CLSC as they survey the profound effect their work is having on thousands of readers across the United States. Commissioned by Chautauqua Opera Company to celebrate The 150th anniversary of Chautauquan Daily in 2026\, IDA BY LAMPLIGHT will be given a one-week workshop\, capped by a public reading with piano accompaniment.  \nSITCOM\nThe neo-baroque comic chamber opera SITCOM\, with music by Luke Styles and libretto by Alan McKendrick\, was developed in collaboration with Opera Philadelphia and Producing Fund Partner Andrew Martin Weber. Sitcom will receive a ten-day workshop with harpsichord accompaniment at Chautauqua. As in classic television sitcoms\, the opera’s four main characters are delightfully trapped in the eternal present of their own worlds. Conceived as four 30-minute “episodes\,” each episode will take Max\, Bettina\, Joan and Vendetta on hugely transformative journeys\, but crucially return each of them to their status quo for the beginning of the next episode. Chautauqua Opera will workshop 60 minutes of the score\, with a public presentation to wrap up the final week of the 2025 season.

SUMMARY:Mary Chapin Carpenter | Brandy Clark
DESCRIPTION:One of music’s “most reliable and empathetic songwriters” (Pitchfork)\, Mary Chapin Carpenter has sold over 16 million records over the course of her renowned career. With hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her\,” she has won five Grammy Awards (with 18 nominations)\, two CMA Awards\, two ACM Awards and is one of only fifteen female members of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Carpenter’s record “One Night Lonely” was nominated for Best Folk Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards\, and in 2023 the songwriter was awarded the Poet’s Award at the ACM Honors\, recognizing outstanding and longstanding musical and lyrical contributions throughout her career. Most recently\, Carpenter unveiled her new podcast\, “Hope is a Muscle\,” which finds her in conversation with people from all walks of life. During its run\, the podcast was in the top five music podcasts on both Apple and Spotify Platforms. In early 2025 the album “Looking For The Thread\,” a collaborative recording with Scottish Singer-Songwriters Karine Polwart and Julie Fowlis\, was released worldwide. Of the album\, The Arts Desk wrote\, “It’s only January but this is an album of the year.”  \nThe 2025 tour will feature songs from Mary Chapin’s entire catalog and her new album set for early summer release. \nA GRAMMY\, CMA and Americana Award-winner\, Brandy Clark is one of her generation’s most esteemed songwriters and musicians. In the midst of a landmark year\, Clark won Best Americana Performance at the 66th GRAMMY Awards and Song of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards with her acclaimed song\, “Dear Insecurity\,” featuring 11x Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile. The track is from Clark’s self-titled album\, which was produced by Carlile and features her most personal songwriting to date. Released to overwhelming praise\, Forbes calls the record “an Americana Masterpiece\,” while Variety proclaims it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures” and Billboard declares\, “Clark continues to convey her inexorable talents as both a song-crafter and vocal interpreter.” In addition to her work as a solo artist\, Clark has written songs such as “A Beautiful Noise\,” the GRAMMY-nominated duet performed by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys\, and Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow.” She also composed the music for the hit musical comedy\, Shucked\, alongside her longtime collaborator\, Shane McAnally. With the show\, Clark won Outstanding Music at the 67th Drama Desk Awards and was nominated for Best Original Score at the 76th Tony Awards\, with Shucked receiving nine Tony nominations overall last year.
