Peermusic Classical enters the new millennium with a roster of composers diverse in musical tradition and artistic background. In one genre in particular, Peer composers have sustained the tradition of American grand opera. In March of 2001, Tania León's opera The Scourge of Hyacinths was revived in three performances during the Festival Centro Historico in Mexico City with staging and designing by Robert Wilson, after seventeen performances in Europe at the the Grand Théâtre de Genève in Switzerland, the Opéra de Nancy et de Lorraine in France and the St. Pölten Festspielhaus in Austria. More recently, John Musto's comic opera, Volpone, was premiered by WolfTrap in March of 2004, and Scott Wheeler's Democracy, commissioned by the Washington National Opera with libretto by Romulus Linney, received its premiere in the nation's capital in January, 2005.
