Song from the Uproar

Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt, composed by Missy Mazzoli, is a hypnotic and visually rich opera that takes the viewer to the heart of the life of an extraordinary woman. The work is based on the diaries and texts of the Swiss-born adventurer, writer and explorer Isabelle Eberhardt (1877–1904), which glow with freedom, restlessness and a burning desire to cross borders. Orphaned at a young age, Isabelle abandons Europe and heads for the deserts of North Africa, living as a nomad, often dressed as a man, searching for her place in the world and within herself.
