Performer: Kiera Duffy

Opera Philadelphia commissions ten composers to tell the story of an ordinary woman's idiosyncratic march from cradle to tomb.

In this world-premiere work, which opens Opera Philadelphia's Festival O23, composer Rene Orth and librettist Hannah Moscovitch dramatize and deconstruct the true story of Nellie Bly's commitment to a mental asylum.

Harry Bicket’s Mozart program traversed a sampling of the composer’s works in various forms, including the Prague Symphony and Exsultate, jubilate with Kiera Duffy.
