Matt Boresi

When not directing the robust and forward thinking Musical Theatre Programs at MIC, Matt Boresi is a Visiting Lecturer of Opera and Musical Theater and Carthage College, North Central College, and Northwestern University, as well as the Director of the North Central College Summer Light Opera Program.
Boresi is the creator of a number of new musicals, operas, choral works and art songs that are performed across the country. His work includes the musicals Don Imbroglio and Going Down Swingin’ (composer Peter Hilliard), which appeared Off-Broadway in the New York Musical Theater Festival with songs performed by such luminaries as Ragtime’s Christiane Noll, The Wild Party’s Raymond McLeod, and Tony-nominee Marla Schaffell. Critics have called Boresi’s work “Subtle and insightful” (Backstage), “Inventive and successful” (Variety), “Consistently delightful” (CurtainUp), and “Bursting with wit and charm” (Talkin’ Broadway). Upcoming appearances of Matt’s work include a production of his chamber opera “The Filthy Habit” with UrbanArias in Arlington, VA, a workshops of his Vivaldi pasticcio “Il Volo dell’ Angelo” at the Lyrique en Mer Festival in France with a subsequent NY premiere, an entry in The Music Theatre Company’s “48 Hour Musicals”, and development of his musical “Motivation” with Theatre Horizon in Philadelphia.
