BMP: SONGBOOKBMP: SONGBOOK

An anthology of 21st Century Repertoire that marks two decades of unparalleled contributions to American opera. This initiative includes a live performance, a commercial double-album recording, a sheet music anthology and a commemorative retrospective book. The BMP: SONGBOOK Anthology will contain a collection of 75 arias from the 60+ operas commissioned and produced by BMP, published by Just A Theory. The Commemorative Retrospective Book, with design and layout by Morcos Key, will give a richly-illustrated history of BMP's story thus far through photos, archival materials, interviews, and more.

A BMP: SONGBOOK double-album will be released on Bright Shiny Things, produced by GRAMMY™ Award-winning producer Blanton Alspaugh, featuring newly recorded, archival, and previously-released arias selected from the Anthology. Capping everything will be a BMP: SONGBOOK Live Concert on January 7 & 8 at National Sawdust, as a part of the 2026 PROTOTYPE Festival, with a launch party and fundraiser to follow the opening night performance with a launch party and fundraiser to follow the opening night performance.
