		<description><![CDATA[Collaboration is one of ALT&#8217;s core values &#8211; in fact, it is literally written into our mission. For ALT, collaboration involves building sustainable partnerships with artists &#8211; specifically composers and librettists &#8211; but also involves developing unique partnerships with other opera companies. I always find it exciting to explore nontraditional collaborations that can benefit both [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by Washington National Opera&#8217;s new American opera initiative, and a subsequent article by Anne Midgette in the Washington Post, there has been a lot of discussion online this week about what makes American opera &#8220;American.&#8221; This question isn&#8217;t exactly new &#8211; it just gets recycled whenever there is important news in the field that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, I discussed the myth that opera became unpopular as tastes changed; rather, opera was made unpopular. If you did not read that post, I&#8217;d suggest reading it before reading any further here, as it sets up a context for this discussion! It is very common to hear opera companies assert that &#8220;poor marketing&#8221; [...]]]></description>
