NEW OPERA TO BE PREMIERED BY PITTSBURGH OPERA
Higdon has partnered with Jerre Dye, Librettist, to compose an opera based on a true art theft. Their opera asks the question "what is the true value of a work of art?" Because this real-life story is ongoing, Higdon and Dye have written three completely different endings so this is an opera that needs to be seen more than once!
Hailed by critics as a "rarity" and "a genuine contralto", Meredith Arwady will sing the lead role.
Performances will take place on April 26, 29, May 2, 3, and 4 at The Bitz Opera Factory in Pittsburgh.
Music for Cold Mountain Suite Now Available
This work was commissioned by New Music for America in cooperation with the League of American Orchestras and an outstanding group of more than 35 consortium orchestras. Higdon created an orchestral suite from the music of her opera Cold Mountain.
