The director about the synopsis

Grammy-nominated composer Missy Mazzoli has won numerous awards for her compositions for major orchestras, chamber music ensembles, films and television series. Her music is melodic and accessible, with innovative and exciting sounds. In 2018, Mazzoli became the first woman to be commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera (together with Jeanine Tesori). 

With her is the librettist Royce Vavrek, with whom she has previously written the operas Proving Up and Breaking the Waves . These works have been hailed as "true opera of our time" (Washington Post on Proving Up ) and "among the best operas of the 21st century" (Opera News on Breaking the Waves ).

Den Grammy-nominerte komponisten Missy Mazzoli har vunnet en rekke priser for sine komposisjoner for store orkestre, kammermusikk-besetninger, film og TV-serier. Musikken hennes er melodisk og tilgjengelig, med innovative og spennende klanger. I 2018 ble Mazzoli første kvinne som fikk bestilling av Metropolitan Opera (sammen med Jeanine Tesori). 

Med seg har hun librettisten Royce Vavrek, som hun tidligere har skrevet operaene Proving Up og Breaking the Waves med. Disse verkene er blitt hyllet som «sann opera i vår tid» (Washington Post om Proving Up) og «blant de beste operaene fra det 21. århundre» (Opera News om Breaking the Waves).
