Sophie's Choice
Four years after its world premiere in London,
Peabody faculty
member Nicholas Maw's opera Sophie's Choice had its
American debut in September with the Washington National
Opera. Angelika Kirchschlager, pictured here, sang the
title role in a work characterized by Washington
Post critic Tim Page as "in all ways a serious venture
— in its grandeur, its ambitions, its soaring,
searing music and opulent orchestration." |
