A new operatic collaboration between two of the most visionary and daring musical voices of our time: 11-time Grammy Award®-winning composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and 4-time Grammy Award®-winning bassist, composer, and vocalist esperanza spalding. Classical and jazz collide in a score for a 28-piece orchestra and the Shorter quartet, blending time, taking us from ancient days to the modern era. Deeply poetic—then suddenly radical—this Iphigenia stares down the history of opera making demands on it's future: No more tragic women going mad in perfect pitch. esperanza spalding leads a company of operatic and non-operatic voices who offer a desperately needed new vision for our world.
