Opera by Meredith Monk

Los Angeles Philharmonic

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Inspired by the life of explorer Alexandra David-Néel, Meredith Monk’s three-act “quest opera” uses Monk’s inimitable and hypnotic style to explore the loss and rediscovery of our inherent wonder. More than 20 years since Atlas first made its impact, Yuval Sharon conceived and directed this landmark new production at Monk’s request, the first outside producer of any of Monk’s works.
