Missy Mazzoli is the 21st century’s gatecrasher of new classical music.

The unleashing of Mazzoli’s apocalyptic imagination on the huge Met stage is an occasion eagerly awaited.

Proving Up is “harrowing...powerful...a true opera of our time.”

Missy Mazzoli is “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart.”

Missy Mazzoli's Breaking the Waves is savage, heartbreaking and thoroughly original.

Breaking the Waves stands among the best 21st-century American operas yet.

“Mazzoli is a once-in-a-generation magician of the orchestra… [The Listeners] is perhaps her most original work to date… sinuously songful vocal lines; furtively expressive instrumental solos; a harmonic language that finds newness and strangeness in the interstices of traditional tonality; unerring narrative pacing.”
