What Belongs to You, a new opera by David T. Little, is an adaptation of Garth Greenwell’s stunning debut novel of desire and its consequences. With lyric intensity and startling eroticism, this indelible story explores the ways our pasts and cultures, our scars and shames can shape who we are and determine how we love. Tenor Karim Sulayman portrays the protagonist over the lush score performed by chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound. Helmed by famed director and choreographer Mark Morris, this presentation is a World Premiere and Modlin Center Commission. This opera is intended for mature audiences.
