This multimedia opera premiere by celebrated Brooklyn composer Missy Mazzoli is a unique combination of live musical performance and original films, inspired by the life and writings of early-20th-century explorer Isabelle Eberhardt. The audience is witness to key moments in Eberhardt’s life, from the death of her family, through her journeys in the North African desert, to her tragic drowning in a flash flood at the age of 27. Song from the Uproar is presented in collaboration with filmmaker Stephen Taylor, librettist Royce Vavrek, stage director Gia Forakis, and NOW Ensemble with mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer and a vocal ensemble of some of NYC's finest singers. Produced by Beth Morrison Projects.
