About
Welcome to pssst… #1 aka The Boot. The bar at the last stop at the edge of the meta-verse. Our Tender’s cosmic cocktail collapses time into a pancake, self into a digital wave of content riding on the broadest band. The jukebox at this joint remixes baroque with techno in an hour long departure from your self-isolated ab-normal. Come interact with new friends you’ve known forever. Sip into the singularity.
PART OF BMP: LIMITLESS Digital Speakeasies
Curious? We thought you might be.
100 years is a long time. In 1920, Prohibition was the law of the land, and people sought sneaky ways to gather, socialize, imbibe and be fabulously entertained together. Speakeasies became the center of cultural life. Down the hall. Last door on the right. Knock three times.
Welcome to pssst…
Each time you walk through that door, it’s a new experience. You never know who you might run into, who might take the stage, who you might end up sitting next to at the bar. The bartenders know everyone’s secrets. Don’t worry, they never tell.

Digital Offering in 2020 by Beth Morrison Projects
![The West Coast premiere of TRADE/MARY MOTORHEAD marked another successful addition to the rich legacy of collaborative efforts between Beth Morrison Projects and LA Opera (@laopera)! We're looking back at some of our favorite productions over the years to celebrate!
DOG DAYS - DOG DAYS marked the first production of the whirlwind partnership in 2015. Hailed by the New York Times as a riveting, soon-to-be “groundbreaking American classic,” the post-apocalyptic tragedy made waves at its LAO presentation and put BMP on the West Coast map.
P R I S M - P R I S M marked another milestone in our joint history. Not only did Ellen Reid’s (@ellenreidmusic) debut opera make its world premiere with LA Opera at REDCAT (@calartsredcat), but this collaborative project would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2019. It was a major development for BMP, LAO, and, of course, Ellen Reid, who “[took] her place among the host of promising young American opera composers” (The Financial Times).
ANGEL'S BONE - Another Pulitzer Prize-winning BMP production, ANGEL'S BONE, was planned as part of the 2020 season. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the presentation pivoted, becoming the first in our history to be presented digitally. The show was streamed by 20,000 people, demonstrating the strength and resilience of our bond with LAO.
TRADE/MARY MOTORHEAD - Finally, Emma O’Halloran’s (@emmamohalloran) TRADE/Mary Motorhead made its West Coast premiere last month at REDCAT. We're thrilled to celebrate another year of BMP and LAO sharing boundary-pushing, cutting-edge opera with this incredible production starring Naomi Louisa O’Connell (@naomi_louisa_oconnell), Marc Kudisch (@marckudisch), and Kyle Bielfield (@bielfield)!](https://bethmorrisonprojects.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
