Catapult Opera is set to present “Nothing Follows” at Columbia University’s Italian Academy this November.

The showcase, set for three performances on Nov. 21 – 23, 2025, features Monteverdi’s “Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda” and Muhly’s “The Glitch,” which is a one-act, true-crime opera based on the infamous 2015 Dannemora prison break.

Baritone Efrain Solis and mezzo-soprano Devony Smith make their Catapult Opera debuts as Tancredi and Clorinda in “Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda,” and as Lyle and Joyce “Tilly” Mitchell in “The Glitch.” Grammy Award winner Karim Sulayman stars as Testo in the Monteverdi and serves as musical narrator for the evening. Marcus Shields directs and Neal Goren conducts..

“Both are brief, both circle around love and conflict, and both capture the instant of a clash—emotional in the Muhly, physical in the Monteverdi,” said Shields, per an official press release. “At their heart lies a struggle between a man and a woman, born of misunderstanding and misperception. Written almost 400 years apart, the works invite us to see these conflicts poetically as a mirror of each other and of our world today: two visions of intimacy and violence, realized in opposite ways, leading us from one side of the spectrum to the other.”
