Looking Back, Leaping Forward celebrates Musiqa’s 25th anniversary with a double bill of new chamber operas exploring memory, change, and the choices that shape our lives.
Iphigenia by composer Anthony Brandt and librettist Neena Beber reimagines a Greek myth in a contemporary setting, where a proposed wind energy project becomes a flashpoint for a community navigating uncertainty. When shifting conditions force a reversal, the work explores the tension between progress and short-term comfort, asking what we’re willing to give up, and who ultimately bears the cost.
In Follow the Sky by Pierre Jalbert and Stephanie Fleischmann, a philosophy student is haunted by the music of an aging violinist, whose playing permeates the apartment building where they live. Inspired by HP Lovecraft’s The Music of Erich Zann, this meditation on music as a lifeline in the face of fractured memory explores the trauma of displacement and the meaning of home.
