Product details
She, Who Should Have Been a Queen (2024), my third song cycle, 1 continues a sustained engagement with themes of gendered experience and female subjectivity explored in earlier works including Art & Life (1999), 2 concerned with domestic violence, and Winter Came Early (2022), which examines the mother-daughter relationship within the dislocations of migration and cultural otherness. 3 In this cycle, soprano Antoinette Halloran's texts revisit canonical female operatic figures through a distinctly twenty-first-century feminist lens, interrogating inherited narratives of agency, power, sacrifice, and representation. Halloran's extensive performance experience in many of these iconic roles provided an important interpretative and dramaturgical foundation for the work.
