David T. Little

GRAMMY®-nominated composer/librettist David T. Little is a natural musical storyteller with “a knack for overturning musical conventions” (New York Times). Known for stage, concert, and screen works permeated with the power of the unexpected, his broad catalog probes the deep corners of human psychology, unafraid to invoke the mythical, bewitching, disturbing, surreal, or comedic in order to explore the human condition. His operas include Dog Days, JFK, and Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera, (libretti by Royce Vavrek), Black Lodge (libretto by Anne Waldman), Soldier Songs and What Belongs to You, both to his own libretti. Presented by Houston Grand Opera, LA Opera, Opera Philadelphia, Opéra de Montréal, Beth Morrison Projects, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the LA Phil, among others, he is currently developing a new work commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera / Lincoln Center Theater New Works Program, & several new stage, film, & concert projects. He is published by Boosey & Hawkes.
