Sivan Eldar Receives Fedora Opera Prize

BCNM alum Sivan Eldar was recently announced as a recipient of the 2021 Fedora Opera Prize for her work composing "Like Flesh" for the Opéra de Lille.

The Opéra de Lille is a one-act chamber opera based in France. Based on Ovid's Metamorphoses, "Like flesh" is a dark contemporary myth informed by queer politics and environmental science. It moves viewers to reflect on their relationships with each other and the world. "Like Flesh" is Sivan's first full-length opera, following a successful four year collaboration on vocal and choral concert works with Cordelia Lynn. Congratulations Sivan!
