Art Opening for a New Opera

Rebecca Allan, Orange Mesa/Medanales, 2016, acrylic on paper, 15 x 17 inches

Following a snow-bound day, a crowd of arts and opera enthusiasts gathered at Meredith Ward Fine Art at 44 East 74 Street for the opening of Rebecca Allan's solo show, Rain in the Arroyo. Sales of paintings will support Brooklyn's American Opera Projects and San Francisco's Opera Parallèle in launching Today It Rains, a new opera about artist Georgia O'Keeffe by the creative team Laura Kaminsky, Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed that also created the most frequently performed contemporary opera in America in the past two years, As One. American Opera Projects is currently developing 28 new operas by contemporary composers. The exhibition continues through February 11.
