The centerpiece of RWO's farewell season was a special live performance that featured greatest hits from across the company’s 15-year history of commissioning, producing, and performing new chamber opera. The performance featured the three RWO ensemble singers (Elisabeth Hallday-Quan, Bonnie Lander, and Robert Maril) and included music by RWO's resident composers Ruby Fulton and George Tsz-Kwan Lam. In addition to works by ensemble members, the concert included works by ten different composers, all of whom were commissioned by RWO since its founding in 2007. The retrospective was directed by Ashley Tata and the singers were accompanied by the Rhymes With Opera Orchestra, conducted by Alex Wen.
