01.08.18 Prototype Festival presented a performance of Matt Marks’ two-person opera The Little Death: Vol. 1 ,which follows Boy (played by Ted Hearne) and Girl (played by Mellissa Hughes), on a journey through the world of Fundamentalist Evangelism. Sadly, Matt Marks died in May 2018 at 38 years of age, and he originally played the lead in this opera. During this extraordinary performance, a film was projected showing Marks in the lead part from the opera’s premiere. The evening concluded with this video which was drawn from the album version.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK

Hailed by the Seattle-based classical radio show Second inversion, you can listen for a limited time to the whole album SCATTER MY ASHES streaming.

Here are some of our favorite quotes from their review:

"Hughes’ dazzling vocals soar above each piece"

"Hughes’ voice amplifies the sorrow, hope, and drama of the poetry, making each word glow…"

"…a beautiful and texturally fascinating sonic landscape which fully encompasses the listener in its sinuous melodies and jazz-infused rhythms"

"…the album stands as a timeless combination of contemporary classical music, minimalism, and jazz into a profound and dynamic multidisciplinary work"

Jacob Cooper - Silver Threads

This is very pretty and dreamy. The soprano is Mellissa Hughes, who is performing this as part of an interesting looking recital at Lincoln Center tomorrow.

[lccoda]

Quick chat with soprano Mellissa Hughes

Jet-setting soprano Mellissa Hughes gives us the scoop on her airplane entertainment preferences, favorite Lincoln Center memory, and the big choice in life: Mickey Mouse or Micky Rourke. Don't miss her as she makes a stop at Lincoln Center's American Songbook on March 20th.

The Coda: You're on your way to Australia at this very moment—what're you listening to/reading on the journey?

Mellissa Hughes: I actually didn't read anything on my way to Australia. This is because I've cut myself off from buying books. I read really, really fast, so I recently joined an online book subscription thing, but the choices aren't great, so I'll probably cancel it. I did watch a lot of movies on the plane though. I feel like I'm licensed to watch anything I want when I'm in the air. I once watched Oceans Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen straight through on a flight from JFK to Moscow.

I'm currently about 22 hours into this crazy journey, in the middle of my last layover in Sydney and listening to How to Dress Well. I met Tom, the vocalist back in October at BAM where I was singing vocals for a project about the history of electronic music that QuestLove put together. Tom has a crazy beautiful voice, and I really like the way his tracks are paced out.

TC: Mickey Mouse or Mickey Rourke: Who would you choose as your sole companion on a desert island for all of eternity?

MH: Mickey Mouse or Rourke. Seriously, these are my only options? Slim pickings. I guess I'd go with Rourke because I'd love to talk to him about working with EVERYONE from Sin City, and because I can handle about sixty seconds of Mickey Mouse's laugh before I start to see red.

TC: You'll be with us at Lincoln Center very soon! Do have a favorite memory of Lincoln Center or favorite place in the neighborhood?

MH: Favorite memory of Lincoln Center. I think my favorite memory of Lincoln Center doesn't have anything to do with any particular performance. One Friday afternoon I was with my son Jackson. He was still very young, probably four or five. He was running near the fountain right when the fountain turned on, and that made him so happy. It somehow wasn't crowded and still light out, and he was just laughing and running around chasing the water. It was one of those rare New York moments that are hard to recreate.

Review of a concert featuring music by Missy Mazzoli and performed by a host of YSM alumni (Mellissa Hughes, soprano; Caroline Shaw, mezzo-soprano; Eleonore Oppenheim, bass; Aaron Sorensen, bass) and others.

"Missy Mazzoli… [has] personal force, broad talent and sheer delight."
