“I cannot do otherwise than be myself” – Lili Elbe
Centering Tobias Picker’s Lili Elbe opera, the program explores the inner and outer landscapes of transformation, with music by Picker, initi figgis-vizueta, and world premieres by Aeryn Santillan & Andromeda Wen. The luminous concert invites us into a journey of courage and becoming.
This program is presented in collaboration with the Santa Fe Opera.
