This winter brings a trio of monodramas to fire the spirit. February 21, 2026, BMOP presents Mono, Mono, Mono. William Bolcom’s opera, Medusa, conveys her experience as the only mortal Gorgon. Ron Perera’s The White Whale is a gripping character study of Captain Ahab from Herman Melville’s novel, Moby-Dick. Carlisle Floyd’s rarely performed Flower and Hawk gives an intimate look at the wealthy and powerful Eleanor of Aquitaine.
