The Stonewall Operas: The Pomada Inn

Enjoy excerpts of new operas written to commemorate the Stonewall Riots, presented by The American Opera Project and the Opera Lab at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Originally recorded on September 12, 2019, at 6:30 p.m. at OPERA America's National Opera Center in New York City as part of OPERA America Onstage.

The Pomada Inn

In Kiev, Igor wants to go to the bathhouse, but Alek fears a police raid; in New York, Holly and Tara don’t have to worry about such things. The Pomada Inn throws these modern-day couples together across time and space to explore the global legacy of Stonewall and the work that still needs to be done.
