Jump, began as Nora York’s musical response to Vissi D’arte, the seminal lament of Puccini’s great diva Tosca. Weaving her own song through the Puccini aria York presented this contemporary musical collage to JoAnne Akalaitis, to see if they could make the work theatrical. They discovered that the 19th century French actress Sarah Bernhardt performed the role of La Tosca for 25 over years, and it was Bernhardt’s Tosca, that inspired Puccini to secure the rights for his libretto. JoAnne invited David Greenspan to join the team as playwright. The Public theater commissioned the new work for Under the Radar Festival in 2011
Jump is a kaleidoscopic collage of performance styles that embraces the original Sardou play, the Puccini opera ( along with two opera singers) and the original music of Nora York. Jump is a passionate journey about inspiration and why we make art. |
