New York, NY. Monday, August 4, 2017. Cantanti Project is thrilled to announce our 2017-2018 season, which will be one of contrasts, discoveries, and collaboration!

We are continuing with Concert, Recital, and Opera Projects, and we are also introducing a new initiative: Contemporary Projects, which will be launched with Tabula Rasa, a new jazz opera by Felix Jarrar & Brittany Goodwin. From the earliest surviving opera, to a world premiere, from recitals to dance parties, this will be our most ambitious season yet. We look forward to working with friends old and new to make it all happen. Season auditions will take place in September - sign up for our newsletter at for updates and details. 

Magic & Mayhem

Opera scenes, spooky songs, jaw-dropping singing, costumes, a dance party, and rising pop sensation PETRA JARRAR - join us in Brooklyn for an evening unlike any other. 

L'Euridice

This opera by Caccini is the oldest surviving opera - how cool is that? Mentioned regularly in history books but rarely performed, our revival of the tale of Orfeo's journey into the underworld is sure to be the talk of the town. Conducted by Dylan Sauerwald, with Dorian Baroque. Directed by Brittany Goodwin. 

Tabula Rasa

WORLD PREMIERE. A new jazz opera with score by Felix Jarrar, libretto by Brittany Goodwin. Tabula Rasa explores the real-life impulse and heartbreak of Alice Prin, aka Kiki de Montparnasse, and her liberating romantic escapades with artists throughout the 1920s in the Montparnasse quarters of Paris. Conducted by Felix Jarrar. Directed by Brittany Goodwin. 

Recital Projects

Dates and Artists to be announced. Recital artists will be selected by written proposals and live auditions. 

Joyce Yin, Artistic Director, is available to speak in more detail about the upcoming season.
