Step into the extraordinary world of Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt, where Missy Mazzoli brings the contradictions of a fearless explorer’s life into vivid focus. Praised by The Guardian for its “dazzlingly original score” and hailed by I Care If You Listen as “visually and aurally ravishing,” this chamber opera captures the tension between opposing forces—man and woman, water and sand, Europe and Africa—through a mesmerizing blend of live instruments and electronics.
