Meet the creative team that nailed The Last American Hammer, composer Peter Hilliard and librettist Matt Boresi. Regularly praised for their "subtlety, humor, charm, and sorrow", they created this contemporary opera which Pittsburgh Opera is performing February 22nd through March 1st.
Hear what inspired them to create this work, what the process was like, and more in this lively discussion.
In addition, this event will include Pittsburgh Opera Artistic Administrator Robert Boldin, cast members, and more, for an "Opera Up Close-style" in-depth look at this opera. [Please note that there will not be a separate Opera Up Close event for The Last American Hammer, so don't miss this!]
