song from the uproar: the lives and deaths of isabelle eberhardt
isabelle eberhardt (1877-1904) was one of the most unusual and independent women of her era. she was born in switzerland but left home at age 19 to travel alone through north africa. she dressed as an arab man, joined a sufi order, fell in love with an algerian soldier, was nearly assassinated, roamed the desert alone on horseback, and eventually drowned in a desert flash flood at age 27. her journals, salvaged from the wreckage of that 1904 flood, are the inspiration for my first opera, SONG FROM THE UPROAR: THE LIVES AND DEATHS OF ISABELLE EBERHARDT….each day i am newly inspired by the universal themes in isabelle’s story: the confusion of falling in love, conflicts between eastern and western cultures, and the desire to break with one’s past and forge a new identity. - missy mazzoli
Alas pre-sale tickets for this are all sold out! I think they have some in reserve that they’ll release closer to the show, I really want to be able to see this.
