Longleaf is an evening-length multimedia work by composer Ben Morris commissioned by Loop38. The piece tells the story of the longleaf pine forest, an endangered ecosystem spread throughout the American Southeast with its last stands in rural East Texas. The piece will trace the history of the tree and the timber industry in East Texas with video projections, historical photographs, natural soundscapes, and music, raise awareness about the ecological importance of old-growth forests, and encourage forest preservation and appreciation in the future.

Journey to a secluded upstate town, away from all the hustle and bustle but suspiciously short on cell reception. What will happen when a New York City transplant points out what the kids have been missing? Will the over-protective parents see the error of their ways, or will the grandparents need to step in to save the day? Glimmerglass is proud to present our annual youth opera on the Alice Busch Opera Theater mainstage again this season. This newly commissioned one-hour opera is fun for the whole family; all ages are welcome as we celebrate the talents of some of the youngest performers in our community alongside our Festival artists and world-class production team.
