About the Event

Christian De Gré Cárdenas, composer
Christian De Gré Cárdenas and Joseph Reese Anderson, librettists

The Alchemists unites two legendary periods in the American story—the Gold Rush and the Dust Bowl—to unearth the struggles and triumphs of charging headlong into the unknown in search of glory, and the myths, legends and unfortunate truths that emerge along the journey.

Preparing the next generation of great singers and offering performances ranging from classic repertoire to provocative new works, it is building contemporary audiences for opera and advancing the art form to sustain those audiences.

 

 

A bold black and white logo displays "ARTS FOR ALL" across two overlapping parallelogram shapes. The modern, geometric design uses sans-serif typography with a dynamic, forward-leaning appearance suggesting movement and accessibility.
