About
Mission
The mission of this company is to foster a new repertoire of progressive and accessible operas written specifically for them and performed in intimate theatrical settings. Guerilla Opera performances are fully-staged, unconducted productions that require the highest level of virtuosity and musicianship from its performers.
History
Guerilla Opera was founded in May 2007 by a group of Boston-based professional singers and instrumentalists lead by Artistic Directors Rudolf Rojahn and Mike Williams. Other founding members include: Aliana de la Guardia, Leslie Ann Leytham, Kent O’Doherty, and Eliza Jacques. Since its formation, Guerilla Opera has commissioned new works from composers including Andy Vores, Marti Epstein, Curtis K. Hughes, Nicholas Vines, Sam Nichols and Rudolf Rojahn.
Guerilla Opera is an Ensemble-in-Residence at The Boston Conservatory where it performs in the Zack Box Theater, and a proud member of the Small Theater Alliance of Boston.
