The Santa Fe Opera: Of One Blood By Brett Dean And Heather Betts – Guggenheim Museum, New York

About this event

This Works & Process presentation introduces Of One Blood before its American premiere at The Santa Fe Opera. The program combines a conversation with the creators and arias from the opera, presenting elements of the work and discussing its development rather than offering the complete staged opera. The opera explores the relationship between political power and the individual through the rivalry of Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots. Its libretto draws on the queens' letters, poems, and speeches. The official announcement does not identify a conductor, director, singers, orchestra, chorus, or design team for this New York presentation.
