Song from the Uproar by Mazzoli, mar. 01 nov. 2016, Du (2016/2016), Dirigé par Amy Hutchison, Chef d'orchestre Catherine O’Shaughnessy, Preston Bradley Center, Chicago, États-Unis

Explorer, nomad, journalist, novelist, passionate romantic, Sufi, and woman. With a libretto by Royce Vavrek, Missy Mazzoli’s enthralling multimedia opera conjures the rebel hero/heroine Isabelle Eberhardt, the extraordinary writer who left her home in Europe to explore Northern Africa. Mazzoli’s electric score layers acoustic and electronic sound with live and pre-recorded voices to create a spellbinding beautiful indie-rock opera. Mazzoli/Vavrek’s recent world premiere BREAKING THE WAVES is being hailed as “among the best twenty-first-century American operas yet” (Opera News). Chicago Fringe Opera’s production is led by Catherine O’Shaughnessy (conductor), Amy Hutchison (stage director) and Kia Smith (choreographer). Mezzo-soprano Emma Sorenson stars as Isabelle Eberhardt, in her exciting Chicago debut.
