THE ZOLLE SUITE
LA Opera’s ongoing series of digital shorts will premiere Du Yun’s THE ZOLLE SUITE on July 9. The new short, created by an international trio of animators, is adapted from Du Yun’s 2005 opera “Zolle.”
The musical forces heard in THE ZOLLE SUITE include mezzo-soprano Hai-Ting Chinn and The International Contemporary Ensemble conducted by Julian Wachner.
Du Yun, born
and raised in Shanghai, is currently based in New York City. She is a
composer, multi-instrumentalist, performance artist, activist, and curator
of new music. She won the Pulitzer Prize for her 2016 opera “Angel’s
Bone” (which LA Opera had planned to present in the Spring of 2020).
In 2022 LA Opera will mount the West Coast premiere of her mono-drama,
“Our Daughter’s Eyes,” starring baritone Nathan Gunn.
