Hailed by The New York Times as “One of the nation’s most intriguing opera companies,” Odyssey Opera, in partnership with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), presents the East Coast premiere of Tobias Picker and Aryeh Lev Stollman’s Awakenings (2022) on Saturday, February 25, at 7:30 p.m. In a one-night only, fully staged production, Awakenings marks the first operatic performance in the reopened Huntington Theatre. Baritone Jarrett Porter plays the lead role of Dr. Oliver Sacks, alongside a cast including sopranos Joyce El-Khoury and Adrienne Danrich. They are joined by the Odyssey Opera chorus, and the BMOP orchestra as part of its extended 25th anniversary celebration season. The creative team includes Grammy Award-winning conductor Gil Rose and celebrated director James Robinson (artistic director Opera Theatre of Saint Louis). A world premiere studio recording follows on BMOP/sound (TBR Summer 2023).
