Classical Classroom, Episode 80: When Abigail Fischer "Roars"
Episode description
What's it like to be more or less the only character in a live, full-length opera, playing the role of a real-life intense person who lived life intensely, while accompanied by an electric guitar? Mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer dishes about playing Isabelle Eberhardt, the inspiration for Missy Mazzoli's opera Song from the Uproar: The Lives and Deaths of Isabelle Eberhardt, with the NOW Ensemble.
