Performance Information

Lincoln In The Bardo opera is a new English-language opera adapted from George Saunders’ novel Lincoln in the Bardo. Composer Missy Mazzoli and librettist Royce Vavrek shape the story into a large-scale, psychologically driven work written for seven principal singers, SATB chorus, and orchestra. Centered on the Lincoln presidency and Civil War–era grief, it brings a major 21st-century literary work to the operatic stage with an intimate focus on character and memory.

As a contemporary American opera, Lincoln in the Bardo sits in the modern repertoire tradition—using chorus and orchestra to build an immersive community of voices around its central family story. The libretto is in English, and the opera’s dramatic engine comes from the tension between the living and the dead as the narrative moves through loss, denial, and release.

Major venues tied to planned productions include The Metropolitan Opera and LA Opera, positioning this upcoming premiere as a high-profile addition to new American opera.

Story & Artistic Elements

Set in 1862 at Oak Hill Cemetery (Georgetown, Washington, D.C.), the opera follows Willie Lincoln, who dies at age 11 and awakens in a cemetery realm where spirits linger, unable—or unwilling—to move on. Abraham Lincoln’s grief and his visits to Willie’s tomb become a focal point as the dead reflect on memory and what it means to let go.

Audiences can look forward to Lincoln’s grave-side scenes, as well as the choral and ensemble portrayal of the “bardo”—an intermediate state and its community of spirits. Willie’s dawning realization of death, and the spirits’ confrontation with release, form some of the opera’s most celebrated dramatic moments.
