Events Description

 

City Opera Vancouver presents the Canadian premiere of composer Missy Mazzoli’s contemporary masterpiece Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt.

One of the most adventurous women of her era, the opera tells the extraordinary life story of the complex, multifaceted Eberhardt – from the death of her family, through her journeys in the North African desert, to her ecstatic religious conversion, and ultimately to her tragic drowning.The role will be brought to life by mezzo soprano Marion Newman, one of the brightest stars in Canada’s classical music firmament. Newman will be supported by a five-person chorus: Katie Fraser, Christina Demeo, Emma Jang, Kiho Sohn, and Jason Sommerville. The work is directed by acclaimed theatre practitioner Ann Hodges, under the baton of City Opera Vancouver Artistic Director Gordon Gerrard.
