Description:

Jacqueline is powerful, award-winning new opera that dives into the real-life struggle between famed cellist Jacqueline du PrÃ© and the multiple sclerosis that ravaged her body, mind, and talent - robbing her of her identity, her breathtaking musical gift, and ultimately her life.The story is brought to life by celebrated American soprano Marnie Breckenridge (as Jacqueline) and former du PrÃ© protÃ©gÃ© and world-renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz, playing the role of her constant companion: her cello. GRAMMY-nominated composer Luna Pearl Woolf and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek chart the development of great prodigy and, ultimately, great tragedy. Told in four movements â?? I. Star Birth;; II. Super Nova;; III. Meteorite;; IV. Impact â?? the opera references Haimovitzâ??s personal recollections of du PrÃ© herself.Colorful and at times funny, raw, joyful and audacious, the form of the work echoes du PrÃ©â??s iconic interpretation of Edward Elgarâ??s Cello Concerto, using the concertoâ??s four-movement structure to navigate a prismatic and passionate, if all too short, life in music.â??A brilliant, wrenching chamber workâ?¦flings us headfirst body and soul into thecentre of towering virtuosity and pain that was and always will be du PrÃ©â?¦Jacqueline is a profoundly moving opera, one that shreds the emotions.â?Opera Going Torontoâ??Jacqueline is the thrilling result of real simplicityâ?¦stripping away the inessential toreveal a moving story free from egoâ?¦[an] extraordinary piece, one that deservesan unquestioned place in the 21st-century canon.â?The Globe and Mail -

Jacqueline is powerful, award-winning new opera that dives into the real-life struggle between famed cellist Jacqueline du Pre and the multiple sclerosis that ravaged her body, mind, and talent - robbing her of her identity, her breathtaking musical gift, and ultimately her life. The story is brought to life by celebrated American soprano Marnie Breckenridge (as Jacqueline) and former du Pre protege and world-renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz, playing the role of her constant companion: her cello. GRAMMY-nominated composer Luna Pearl Woolf and Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Royce Vavrek chart the development of great prodigy and, ultimately, great tragedy. Told in four movements - I. Star Birth; II. Super Nova; III. Meteorite; IV. Impact - the opera references Haimovitz's personal recollections of du Pre herself. Colorful and at times funny, raw, joyful and audacious, the form of the work echoes du Pre's iconic interpretation of Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto, using the concerto's four-movement structure to navigate a prismatic and passionate, if all too short, life in music.
