a new opera
by Jeremy Howard Beck and Stephanie Fleischmann

commissioned by Houston Grand Opera

Featured Presentation—Opera America Conference, Minneapolis

Drawn from in-depth interviews and conversations, this moving exploration of homelessness in Houston centers on the collective voices of a city in search of the meaning of home. A kaleidoscopic, immersive web of intersecting stories—of those experiencing homelessness, and those who work to help however they can—ANOTHER CITY chronicles housing lost, gained, and carried as memory. The opera asks: How do we bridge the chasm between this city and its other, a place that is all around us but invisible, hiding in plain sight?
