Jefferson Lives!
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, “Jefferson Lives!” by Polyhymnia presents a bold new operatic reflection on the American experiment through a musical language that is at once historical and strikingly fresh.
The work freely integrates distinctly American musical styles with a vivid contemporary vocabulary, seeking to embody the freedom, excellence, and vibrant artistic spirit that shaped the nation’s founding imagination.
Drawing directly from melodies rooted in America’s past and incorporating the historic words and ideas of the Founding Fathers into song, the opera immerses audiences in the exhilarating and dangerous atmosphere of the brave new world of American independence.
Through this fusion of history, artistry, and dramatic storytelling, “Jefferson Lives!” offers not only a meditation on the nation’s origins, but also a living artistic vision of America’s cultural and creative identity.
