“In 2018, Missy Mazzoli made history when she became one of the first two women (along with Jeanine Tesori) to be commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera. She has chosen to base her Met Opera commission on George Saunders’s 2017 novel Lincoln in the Bardo. BBC Music Magazine‘s columnist referred to Mazzoli as ‘writing in a lush, neo-Romantic style spiced with minimalist and jazz flecks.’”
