Southern Crossings: a New Chamber Opera

6 characters. 3 stories. 1 divided world.

“In the century of discovery, of empire and emancipation, six characters confront each other with their fears and doubts about what science demands, and what it may cost them and those whose world it is about to transform.”

Jabri collaborated with Columbia University professors Yvette Christiansë and Rosalind C. Morris, who wrote the operas’ libretto.

This event is co-sponsered by the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Institute.
