Beschreibung

The Waking, a concert aria on the poem of Theodore Roethke, is my gift to the NYCO Renaissance to celebrate its plan to revive NYCO and its ‘waking’ from an era of sleep. In rededicating its founding mission, NYCO is waking and ‘going where it has to go.’ The voice of the poem is that of NYCO itself—the ‘People’s Opera’—Julius Rudel, countless great artists and devoted patrons in ‘the waking’ of its 8th decade. It is the voice of the audience, the young, the old and future generations ‘taking the lively air’ and ‘going where they have to go. –Tobias Picker
