Julia Bullock & AMOC Harawi

The American Modern Opera Company (AMOC) is thrilled to present a new staging of Harawi, Olivier Messiaen’s deeply af-fecting, hour-long song cycle for soprano and piano.

In addition to Julia Bullock and Conor Hanick's performance of this sweeping work, Messiaen’s musical explorations of love and death will take on a newly physicalised and theatrical dimension through the choreographic work of Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber direction by Zack Winokur and with lighting design by John Torres. Moving from duet to quartet, this production breaks open Messiaen’s cycle and interro-gates the questions inherent in the piece’s appropriative exoticism.
