    ConNEXTions is a program featuring world and regional premieres of 21st century operas by American composers and librettists, September 8-13, 2009 during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. This season represents two works commissioned by Center City Opera Theater and two that were created by American Opera Projects in New York City. A double bill of The Always Present Present (world premiere) and Darkling (regional premiere) will be presented on alternate nights with the double bill of The Great Blondin (world premiere of a work-in-progress) and Paul’s Case (world premiere workshop of work-in-progress.) For more details on the individual operas, click on the links below. A timeless story of true love in the face of multiple obstacles told in dance and song paired with an artist’s struggle to achieve fame as the world’s greatest tightrope walker by braving Niagara Falls as witnessed by Mark Twain and the Prince of Wales. Alternates with staged-workshops of new operas.
