July 18-20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lincoln Center Festival presents Matsukaze<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gerald W. Lynch Theater<\/a>, 524 West 59th Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

$35-$75<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harmonious sounds and haunting songs converge in this exquisite production of Matsukaze<\/em> (Japanese for \u201cwind in the pines\u201d). Inspired by a popular 15th-century play crafted in part by Noh master Zeami, the opera features a spare, ethereal score by Toshio Hosokawa, one of Japan\u2019s most prominent living composers of contemporary classical music. Matsukaze<\/em> tells the story of two sisters, two lingering spirits, who wander the porous boundary of the living and the dead in hopes of being freed from a former mortal lover. John Kennedy conducts the Talea Ensemble and a cast of soloists and chorus in this arresting, dreamlike performance set in the shadowy place where the wall between the ephemeral and the corporeal disappears. Sung in German with English supertitles.<\/em><\/p>\n
