Song From The Uproar

This highly anticipated chamber opera from postclassical queen bee Missy Mazzoli and avant-garde filmmaker Stephen Taylor conjures the spirit of the short-lived 19th-century Swiss explorer Isabelle Eberhardt through disjointed video memories and excerpts from her writings. Mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer plays the ballsy heroine, backed by the NOW Ensemble and a five-person chorus.
