Charlie Parker's Yardbird
Hackney Empire
Hackney Empire & English National Opera present the European Premiere of Charlie Parker's Yardbird. In a commission from acclaimed Opera Philadelphia and accompanied by the English National Opera Orchestra, tenor Lawrence Brownlee stars as the legendary saxophonist.
A segregated hotel. Saxophonist Charlie Parker has just died in the room of a married Baroness. While she tries to stem a media storm, Parker’s ghost appears in a fantastical version of the infamous NYC jazz club Birdland with the aim of composing a last musical masterpiece before the news of his death breaks. A pioneering improviser, Parker can’t pin the notes onto the page without revisiting those who have inspired his creative genius: the women who loved him, his partner in the jazz revolution: Dizzy Gillespie.
A jazz-infused bebopera about deferred dreams and redemption, with music by Daniel Schnyder and libretto from award-winning African American poet Bridgette A. Wimberly, Yardbird is as bold in its artistic vision as Parker was himself.
