Welcome to the
NAUTILUS GENOME PROJECT!

This temporary website was initially created to help remind artists who have worked with Nautilus (formerly known as the New Music-Theater Ensemble) of what projects they have done with us. It includes listings for The Wesley Balk Opera/Music-Theater Institute, the Nautilus Composer-Librettist Studios, Rough Cuts, fully-staged Productions, and selected Community Projects.  

Audience members and donors can also use this website to refresh their memory about specific fully-staged Productions and Rough Cuts presentations that they have attended over the years.

Because our database goes back to 1983, some of you may not remember exactly which projects you participated in or seen. Others have done so many projects with us that it’s hard to keep track.

Much of this work around the Nautilus Genome Project has been made possible by an Opera America Innovation Grant, supported by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.

This website is temporary; it will be eventually be replaced with a new Nautilus Music-Theater website, containing all current activity listings, organizational information, and extensive archival information. Until then, click on the “Let’s Get Started!” button to begin.
