Alison’s diverse 2018-2019 season included the world premieres of Kamala Sankaram’s Taking Up Serpents (Washington National Opera), Chunky in Heat (Experiments in Opera, NYC), and Sarah Kirkland Snyder’s Penelope (new performing edition for Lyric Opera of Kansas City).

Portfolio
"Alison Moritz directs the evening, and her use of the Williams Stables space is both sensitive and bold. She presents the two operas, the nostalgic dream fantasy and the broad soap opera comedy, with obvious care and affection, placing her singer-actors in the best light..."
