“You
always step into this life cycle of the city, whether it’s declining or
being reborn, and you don’t even understand how you’re a part of it,”
the famed architect Liz Diller said earlier this week on the High Line, a
modern triumph of her firm, Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
The Mile-Long Opera, a biography of 7 o’clock, is on the High Line in Chelsea and Manhattan’s Meatpacking District
The Mile-Long Opera is free public opera sung by 1,000 New Yorkers on Manhattan’s High Line. It tells the stories of hundreds of New Yorkers about what 7:00 pm means to them.
Audiences can enjoy the opera by walking the High Line. Each singer tells a different story which you can hear alone as you pass or with others in unison.
Preparation for the opera is a major community engagement initiative. The singers are New Yorkers from all five boroughs, just like you.
The project was created by architects Diller Scofidio + Renfo and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, with words and lyrics by poets Anne Carson and Claudia Rankine.
Diller Scofidio + Renfo are the architects of the High Line and Lincoln Center.
David Lang is known for his large-scale public music projects such as The Public Domain for one thousand voices at Lincoln Center, and his Symphony for a Broken Orchestra with hundreds of broken school instruments.
