We are thrilled to partner with Catapult Opera on a new production of Nadia Boulanger’s only known opera, La Ville Morte, at NYU Skirball Center. The score for La Ville Morte was destroyed in World War I but reconstructed for performance in the early 2000s. Set amongst the ruins of Agamemnon’s palace Mycenae, La Ville Morte follows a cast of archaeologists fraught by illicit love and incest, and delves into the relationship between blindness and the subconscious mind.
