Boston Lyric Opera to Present ‘Song of the Earth’

By Francisco Salazar

Boston Lyric Opera (BLO) is set to present a new staging of “Song of the Earth” (Das Lied von der Erde).

The work will be presented between March 20 and 29 and will be directed by acclaimed theater artist and BLO Artistic Associate Anne Bogart, who penned an original script that creates a narrative through line.

The production will feature mezzo-soprano Raehann Bryce-Davis, tenor Brandon Jovanovich, and actor Ellen Lauren.

BLO Music Director David Angus will conduct a chamber arrangement by Arnold Schoenberg.

The performances will mark the re-opening of BLO’s renovated Opera + Community Studios space (O+CS), a new creative hub in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood that serves as BLO’s administrative and rehearsal headquarters, with a main area that transforms into a 300-seat performance space.
