The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) and Odyssey Opera Present the East Coast Premiere of John Corigliano and Mark Adamo’s The Lord of Cries Featuring Anthony Roth Costanzo at Jordan Hall

The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) and Odyssey Opera, two of today’s leading innovators on the classical musical scene, present the East Coast premiere of John Corigliano and Mark Adamo’s new opera The Lord of Cries. Considered to be one of the major operatic events of the new decade, Cries dwells on the dangers that result from the repression of our darkest desires, told through a plot that combines elements of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Euripides’s The Bacchae. As part of BMOP’s extended 25th anniversary celebration season, the full BMOP orchestra will perform alongside one of today’s biggest opera stars, Anthony Roth Costanzo (Dionysus), and several rising vocalists, all at the helm of celebrated conductor Gil Rose. A world premiere recording will follow on Pentatone.
