Works & Process has announced its 2023 season of programming, with performances at the Guggenheim Museum, Lincoln Center, and the New York Library for the Performing Arts.

Among the performances are “The Factotum,” presented by Lyric Opera of Chicago and featuring Grammy-nominated baritone Will Liverman. Inspired by “The Barber of Seville” and set in a Black barbershop in Chicago, highlights of this new commission will be shown on January 7, 2023, before its February 3 premiere at Chicago’s Harris Theater.

Leading Gospel artists Damien Sneed will moderate a discussion with director Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, choreographer Maleek Washington, DJ King Rico, and Liverman.

March 20 will also see highlights from Terence Blanchard’s acclaimed new opera “Champion,” with a discussion moderated by Peter Gelb and the creative team. The opera is set to premiere at the Metropolitan Opera on April 10, 2023. 

The 2023 season, presented in partnership with the Jerome Robbins Dance Division, seeks to foster cooperation throughout the arts with a network of twelve residency partners in seven counties throughout New York.
