Missy Mazzoli's The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt
The latest in new music - Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt - the UK premiere at last weekend's Total Immersion.
Tom Service introduces the UK premiere of Missy Mazzoli's Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt - from last weekend's Total Immersion.
A resonant and haunting music-drama by one of the 21st century’s most original creative minds.
Isabelle Eberhardt (1877–1904) was an explorer, nomad, journalist, novelist, passionate romantic, Sufi, and one of the most unique and unusual women of her era. Missy Mazzoli’s chamber opera evokes her short, untrammelled life in words and music of uncompromising beauty and imagination.
