In partnership with the American Modern Opera Company and Stanford Live, PBO brings the world premiere of a new, multifaceted, genre-defying piece after more than six years in the making and a reschedule from its original premiere in October 2020. The core of The No One's Rose is the poetry of Paul Celan, who wrote some of the most arresting accounts of the Holocaust, set to a new score for period instruments by the award-winning Matthew Aucoin.
