Our chancel operas are short pieces designed to replace the sermon in the worship service.
Action takes place before the congregation, near the bhima.
They are melodic, fresh, and accessible to first-time listeners. Prop, costume and lighting requirements are simple, so that the worship may continue with a minimum of disturbance. Connecticut composer and pianist Susan Hulsman Bingham wrote the music presented in this site. The Chancel Opera Company of Connecticut has performed most of the works, and other companies and schools have performed several. Though the Chancel Opera Company tours, we hope that you will join the fun by performing some of the pieces yourselves.
