THE CHRONICLE OF NINE: THE TRAGEDY OF QUEEN JANE
By Arnold Rosner
Libretto by Florence Stevenson
WORLD PREMIERE
A co-production with Boston Modern Orchestra Project
Semi-staged, Sung in English
The performance will run approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission and pause.

The nine-day reign of Henry VII’s great-granddaughter ended with one of English history’s notorious beheadings when Mary Tudor’s supporters claimed the crown in 1553. This co-production of Odyssey Opera and Boston Modern Orchestra Project brings the poignant story of Lady Jane Grey to Boston audiences in a world premiere by Arnold Rosner, a composer whose work is both genre busting and intensely emotional. 

Read the libretto.

“As I entered Jordan Hall, I overheard chatter to the tune of “I’ve never heard of Arnold Rosner;” by intermission, those had changed to “Why have I never heard of Arnold Rosner?”

–The Boston Globe
