GUERILLA OPERA RELISHES confrontation and upending conventions. Founded in Boston in 2007, the company has no conductor, chorus or orchestra. The pieces it commissions, which never exceed ninety minutes and are often closer to ten, feature no more than four instruments and four singers. In some instances, they have no vocal music at all. Whether their productions should even be called operas was once discussed within the group.
