A ROK Commission
Premiered Season 2018-19
Composed by Lauren Bernofsky, Malcolm Dalglish, Rosey Lee, Chris Neiner, Yuriria Rodríguez, and Wilson Shitandi
Libretto by Alejandra Martinez

THE LUNCHBOX PROJECT uses traditional music as the setting to explore the many cultures revealed in our lunchboxes. Students' own stories will be integrated into performances, as they will be able to submit poems about their lunchboxes, which cast members will select - and sing! - during the opera. This interactive experience will create meaningful connections between students as they celebrate the uniqueness, and recognize the similarities, of their cultures.
Appropriate for all ages, best for elementary schoolers and families | Sung in English |
Performance length: approx. 25 minutes
