Lyrica Classic, in collaboration with the publisher "Shostakoviches and Stravinskies" and the contemporary music project "Music of Our Time," presents its first international festival of contemporary opera by women-composers, Muffled Voices. The first season of Muffled Voices will take place in various cities throughout Russia from February to August 2024. The event will pay tribute to the memory of the exceptional composer and author of more than 500 works, Tatiana Chudova while celebrating women's significant contributions to classical music. This festival is made possible with the support of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. 

This collaboration between American and Russian teams will showcase the talents of female composers from both countries. In its inaugural season, the project promises to immerse the audience with opera premieres created by seven outstanding women composers, including Missy Mazzoli, Anne LeBaron, Amy Marcy Cheney Beach, Tatiana Chudova, Alina Podzorova, Anna Kuzmina, and Alina Nebykova, and features ten chamber operas representing various musical styles.

With performances by splendid soloists from the global music scene and stage interpretations by renowned stage-directors Elizaveta Korneeva (the stage director of the Krasnoyarsk Hvorostovsky Opera and Ballet Theater and Staatstheater Hannover in Germany) and Marc Verzatt (stage manager of the Cincinnati Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago), each production promises to be a uniquely creative event.

"The festival is unique in that it not only celebrates the great contribution of Tatiana Chudova but also raises an important question about the role and talents of women composers in musical history," says Yulia Petrachuk, festival's producer. "Contemporary opera premieres, collaboration with outstanding directors and artists, make this musical celebration a unique bridge between the past and the future, emphasizing that talent transcends gender boundaries."

Throughout history, women's contributions to classical music composition have often been overlooked. However, the landscape is changing as contemporary female composers are breaking through barriers and reshaping the narrative of a traditionally male-dominated field.
