I Was Here I Was Here: ALARM WILL SOUND (concert June 20, 7:00 pm)

  • A New Music Theater Work in Three Acts

    Kate Soper, Composer
    Nigel Maister, Director/Librettist
    Alan Pierson, Conductor with Alarm Will Sound

     

    A 19th-century woman sails down the Nile discovering beauty and brutality in equal measure. Two Nubian brothers drown in the river, setting in motion a chain of events that will see their temple saved from a similar fate millennia later. A contemporary tourist confronts The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing on Fifth Avenue. Generations seek to control memory and secure their place in history. Inspired in part by the writings of Victorian adventurer Amelia Edwards, I Was Here I Was I is an immersive experience, using spoken text, song, and music.

     

    Commissioned for the Lila Acheson Wallace Galleries of Egyptian Art and The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing.
