Hannah Ishizaki, Chiori Miyagawa, and Mark Campbell: A Thousand Generations
About This Event
Singers Hannah Ishizaki and Chiori Miyagawa and librettist Mark Campbell present A Thousand Generations at National Sawdust. The three work as a creative team pairing voice, text and dramaturgy: Ishizaki’s clear, text-forward vocal line and Miyagawa’s cross-disciplinary storytelling meet Campbell’s attention to theatrical pacing in a contemporary, new-music operatic context.
About A Thousand Generations(opera)
At National Sawdust in Brooklyn, *A Thousand Generations* is presented as a live opera event, shaped around voice, text, and contemporary stagecraft. Featured performers include Hannah Ishizaki, Chiori Miyagawa, and Mark Campbell. The work traces how family memory and inherited history travel across time, asking what gets carried forward and what is edited out. If this marks its New York debut, the venue’s track record for new opera puts the piece in a local lineage where experimentation is treated as documentation rather than decoration.
