The Road Ahead - A Way Forward
In this time of regrouping, when there are more questions than answers about what lies ahead -- such as when and how we can mount live productions in theaters -- we are nonetheless committed to partnerships, conversations, and explorations that will bring us together and to search out the words to tell urgently needed stories and create music that breaks open hearts.

So What' New?
Award-winning composer Rosino Serrano from Mexico City joins Alliance and a bi-cultural artistic team to create an original chamber opera that humanizes the story of unintended encounters on our southern border. Featuring a Youth Chorus de la Comunidad, the work portrays the plight of Central American immigrants and the heartbreak of separated families fleeing danger. The piece will be mounted in Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.

In partnership with The Phillips Collection, Alliance has commissioned a series of short works of music-theatre, responding to six artists featured in the museum. Designed as film works, these “Short Gems” will be rolled out as part of a “virtual tour” as part of the The Phillips Centennial Celebration starting January 2021.

You have asked, "So, exactly what is Music-Theatre*?
Music-Theatre is any story told combining music and drama.
The story and emotional content -– humor, pathos, love, anger -– are communicated through words, music, and sometimes movement or dance, and technical aspects as an integrated whole.
So enjoy!
