Hannah Ishizaki, Chiori Miyagawa, and Mark Campbell: A Thousand Generations

Composer Hannah Ishizaki is writing a one-act chamber opera in 11 scenes in collaboration with librettists Mark Campbell and Chiori Miyagawa for three vocalists, chamber ensemble, and electronics, based on the Japanese folk story, “Tsuru no Ongaeshi.” The story is split between a retelling of Tsuru no Ongaeshi (The Crane’s Gratitude) in 15th-century Japan and contemporary U.S. and Japan.
