WORKSHOPS

Who: Boston Lyric Opera
What: Join Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet and 22nd Poet Laureate of the United States, for a community workshop and listening session that invites your voice into the making of a brand-new opera. This gathering is about more than listening—it’s about authorship. Together, we’ll explore poetry and storytelling as tools for connection, reflection, and collective imagination. Participants will hear poems by Tracy and other contemporary poets, and will be invited to respond—by speaking, writing, or simply sharing what resonates. Over the coming months, dozens of community listening sessions across the city will inform a libretto shaped directly by the lived experiences of Bostonians. Your stories, language, memories, and questions will help inspire an opera that reflects the richness, complexity, and spirit of this city. The resulting opera—rooted in Boston’s voices and created in partnership with its communities—will premiere at Symphony Hall in May 2027.
