In partnership with the American Modern Opera Company and Stanford Live, PBO brings the world premiere of a new, multifaceted, genre-defying piece after more than six years in the making and a reschedule from its original premiere in October 2020. The core of The No One's Rose is the poetry of Paul Celan, who wrote some of the most arresting accounts of the Holocaust, set to a new score for period instruments by the award-winning Matthew Aucoin.
Originally conceived as a meditation on what happens after a catastrophe, The No One's Rose assumes more significance in the wake of the pandemic. A star cast of artists join forces to bring to life this bold new work, including Davóne Tines, Julia Bullock, Anthony Roth Costanzo, and Paul Appleby, all directed by the visionary Zack Winokur.
