Having Guests for Dinner
a “trash” micro-opera
Music by Nicholas Bentz, Libretto by Robert Feng

Having Guests for Dinner follows a young couple, Marcus and Laura, who are invited to a friend of a friend’s house for dinner. When they arrive, they meet their odd host, Christoph. Something seems off – their friends Scott and Andrew never arrive, and Christoph’s demeanor betrays that perhaps there’s more on the menu than just beef and lamb...
