PAST GENESIS PROJECTS

Genesis has several completed projects that can be read about on this web site. We will continue to report on the progress of these projects and also of any new projects that are undertaken. Information about past projects will be stored in our archive.

Genesis Opera Projects I and II

This early initiative was an international commissioning scheme for young composers and librettists developed in association with Aldeburgh Productions and Almeida Opera.

This project put 11 operas into development over its lifetime.  In the end, most of these came to fruition and performance of some sort. Also, Genesis has chosen subsequently to support some of the composers who first came to our attention through this scheme. A key example is Isidora Žebeljan.
