| Olive Cullen, Voice | |||
| Song from the Uproar, by Missy Mazzoli, is an opera about the Swiss woman, Isabel Eberhardt, who travelled to Africa alone in the late 19th century dressed as a man, and wrote musings on life, which were written into a contemporary chamber opera by Missy Mazzoli. You Are the Dust is about Isabelle leaving her love behind and feeling the gut wrenching pain of loss and heartbreak. | |||
