  Notes from the announcement: The show involves "two ... chamber operas about obsession. 'What happens when you bring new opera and music-theater out of the conventional stages and into unexpected venues? That's what's Rhymes With Opera is all about, and that's what we're doing with our show,' says Lam. 'Our first production features two new pieces centered around the theme of obsession. 'Heartbreak Express' is about a fan obsessed with the idea of Dolly Parton, and 'Closer to Mona' is an exploration between the real and the ideal in the Mona Lisa.' Lam is currently a graduate composition student at Duke University's Department of Music, and Fulton is also a graduate composition student, in Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory of Music. Both ...have a keen interest in theater and collaborative works, and the team composed and staged their first operas in 2003 at Boston University, where the two co-artistic directors studied."
