“Song from the Uproar by Missy Mazzoli was the highlight of last summer’s opera season, thanks to Abigail Fischer’s powerful performance as Isabelle Eberhardt, the Russian-born Swiss adventurer and writer. Although there is a small vocal ensemble, Uproar is a one-woman show and Fischer took on Eberhardt’s complexities with a gorgeously burnished mezzo and balletic grace. Royce Vavrek’s libretto incorporates texts by him and Mazzoli with Eberhardt’s words, which Mazzoli’s score brilliantly projects.”
