TEVYE’S DAUGHTERS
LEARN HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE FUTURE
OF TEVYE’S DAUGHTERS
AND READ THE SHORT STORY UPON WHICH THE OPERA IS BASED
Thank you for joining us for our workshop reading of Alex Weiser and Stephanie Fleischmann’s Tevye’s Daughters. Our workshop this fall has been a very important step on the journey of this opera to the stage, and we are thrilled that you could join us. Based on what Alex and Stephanie learned during the workshop period, the ALT artistic team will continues to support Alex and Stephanie by providing them with the resources they need to make revisions to the libretto and score, and to move the piece from the page to the stage.
As we like to say at ALT, great operas don’t just happen. The average cost of developing a new opera - from start to finish - is over $200,000. This includes the artists’ commission fees; libretto, piano/vocal, and orchestral workshops; and at least 3 years of mentorship from some of the leading artists working in the opera field. We cannot bring great operas to the stage without you. We hope you will consider investing in the future of Tevye’s Daughters, which you can do in three different tax-deductible ways through ALT:
JOIN THE COMMISSIONING CIRCLE
Commissioning support as part of the Commissioning Circle starts at $2,500. As a member of the Commissioning Circle, you choose the opera that you want to support, and you receive exclusive exclusive customized recognition related to that opera, as well as opportunities for artistic engagement with the artists behind the work you are supporting.
MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION
We are also honored to be able to commission new operas from some of the country’s most exciting composers and librettists, and to provide a supportive home where these artists can develop their craft as well as their unique voice. Tax Deductible Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated, and may be allocated to support specific artists or projects at ALT.
JOIN THE CATALYST CLUB
THE ALT Catalyst Club is a monthly giving program that helps to catalyze the ongoing development of new operas at ALT. For as little as $10 per month (or $120 per year), membership provides the unique opportunity to get an insider’s look at the creation of new works from page to stage, while getting to know fellow club members and the artists who are changing the face of American opera.
ALT is unique in that we not only dedicate ourselves to the training of opera composers and librettists, but also to providing them with both artistic resources and financial support as they develop their new operas. Operas developed by alumni of our Composer Libretttist Development Program have been produced by over 50 different opera companies internationally! As we support the development of Tevye’s Daughters, behind the scenes we are already talking to multiple opera companies about the future production of this important new work. We are incredibly excited to support Alex and Stephanie in their collaboration, and we are hope that you will continue to join us on this journey....
