InsightALT events were created to give the public an intimate, insiders look behind the scenes of American Lyric Theater’s process of creating new operas. Each event features a concert reading of a new opera in development at ALT, featuring guest singers from the world's leading opera houses, followed an interactive discussion between the audience and the writers behind each work. These conversations, moderated by ALT's founder, Lawrence Edelson, use Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process to engage with those experiencing the opera for the first time to help the writers on their journeys.
American Lyric Theater’s programs are made possible by generous lead funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and The Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Howard Gilman Foundation, The Dubose and Dorothy Heyward Memorial Fund, he Amphion Foundation, the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and the Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University; and the support of many individual donors.
