It all started with a commission from @washnatopera! Terrific article in the @washingtonpost about @yuma_kagiyama15's free skate music, and how it all started when Artistic Director @francescazambello asked two opera newcomers--@susansoonhe and me--to write a new ending to 'Turandot'. That led to a premiere at the Kennedy Center, which then led to a deep, year-long collaboration with some figure skating royalty: @lorinicholskate and @mskostner.

Washington National Opera is a terrific opera company with a visionary director that champions new talent in the opera world. They've recently left their home at The Kennedy Center and are in a transitional phase, so #SupportWNO... and who knows? Maybe you'll see another opera of mine there sometime soon. ;)

Having something I wrote performed at the Olympics was NOT on my bingo card. On February 13th, the incredible @yuma_kagiyama15 is performing @christophertinmusic and my finale to Giacomo Puccini's unfinished opera 'Turandot'. The opera has just been released, (link in bio) beautifully recorded by an incredible cast: @christine_goerke, @heldenhilley, the @englishnationalopera Chorus, and @royalphilorchestra.

We are in are our 2nd week of rehearsals for TURANDOT and are just in love with all of the incredibly gorgeous music composers Giacomo Puccini AND @christophertinmusic have written!

Tin, known for his film and video game soundtracks, and acclaimed playwright and screenwriter @susansoonhe offer a compelling new world premiere ending to Puccini’s final, unfinished work.

We look forward to seeing you at a performance, which run May 11 - 25, 2024! You do not want to miss this! by @susansoonhe
