🎭 When the voice is not enough: how Lyrica Classic turns opera into living theater

Opera is more than music. In Lyrica Classic productions, voice, movement, stage design, and dramatic action work together to tell a deeper story.

💔 In the opera Zhdana, dance becomes the heroine’s second voice. It reveals what she cannot say or sing: the weight of the past, the struggle to break free, and the memory that refuses to let go.

For us, choreography is not decoration. It is part of the drama and a language of its own.

✨ This is the kind of work Lyrica Classic creates: interdisciplinary productions that bring together artists from different fields and return rarely heard music to the stage.

👉 Watch an excerpt from Zhdana in our Reel.

🎶 5 Ways to Start Understanding Contemporary Music

Does classical music sometimes feel distant? Contemporary composers speak about the world we live in now: memory, love, trauma, war, loneliness, and freedom. 💔🕊️

Here are five ways to begin:

🎓 Lectures and courses
YouTube and educational platforms offer accessible introductions to contemporary music, minimalism, and individual composers. It is often easier to begin with one work or one composer rather than abstract theory.

📚 Books
Alex Ross’s The Rest Is Noise is one of the best-known books about twentieth-century music (https://clck.ru/3V3UQ2). Other books and essays can also help place unfamiliar sounds in a historical and cultural context.

🎭 Concerts and staged productions
Contemporary music is often easier to understand in performance. Theater, movement, lighting, and dramatic context can reveal meanings that may not be immediately clear from the music alone.

🎼 Lyrica Classic recordings
Our platforms feature excerpts and recordings from contemporary operas and concerts, including works that are rarely heard in the standard repertoire.

🎙️ Podcasts and interviews
In the Across Oceans Podcast, we speak with composers, conductors, and artists about how contemporary music is created (https://clck.ru/3V3UVm). You can also explore podcasts such as Relevant Tones, devoted to the music being written today (https://clck.ru/3V3UYt).

Contemporary music is not an exam you need to pass. It is simply another language. The more you hear it, the more familiar it becomes.

✨ Start with whatever feels closest to you: a book, a lecture, a performance, a recording, or a conversation with an artist.

🎭 Orpheus and Eurydice — but not as you know it.

You know the myth: Orpheus descends into the underworld to bring Eurydice back. He turns around — and loses her forever.

🤔 But what if Eurydice chooses to stay?

That is exactly what happens in Anna LeBaron’s opera, presented at the Muffled Voices Festival. Eurydice chooses art over returning. And this time, she does not lose.

🔔 Follow us for more excerpts and recordings from our productions.

🕯️ “Prayer for Peace” — a glimpse into the concert

This concert series was created to introduce new sacred music by American composers for organ, voice, and other instruments.

✨ This project reflects the heart of Lyrica Classic’s mission: giving undiscovered music the platform it deserves.

Watch short excerpts from works by Eli Tamar, Emmanuel Dubois, and Serge Khrichenko, set to Christian prayer texts and performed by Lyrica Classic artists.

🎙️ Across Oceans: Coming Soon — Daria Novo

🌟 A new episode of the Across Oceans podcast is coming soon, featuring a very special guest: Daria Novo.

Daria is a composer, orchestrator, and conductor working at the intersection of classical music, film, and contemporary sound design. Her credits include projects for Netflix, such as The Witcher and One Piece, as well as work connected with PlayStation and Meta.

Originally from St. Petersburg, Daria moved to Los Angeles and built an international career working with Hollywood production teams and live orchestras. She founded NovoMusic to create greater opportunities for women in the audio industry and also teaches at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

🎶 In this episode, we talk about how a musician with a Russian classical education enters the American world of film, television, games, and streaming platforms. Why did Daria choose the United States? What did the move to Los Angeles require? How are major international projects really created, and what roles do talent, networking, speed, reputation, and teamwork play?

This is an honest conversation about the profession from the inside — without polished myths or simplified success stories.

🎧 The episode will be available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJmQJWFKveCGVMnNBM7wIFKHiIUEdSIbW

🔔 Follow Across Oceans so you don’t miss this episode and future conversations with remarkable guests.

❤️ All three films remind us of one thing: opera is not a museum. It is alive.

💬 Which of these have you seen? What would you add to this list?

🎻 The people without whom there is no music

We often thank the soloists, directors, and designers. But there are also those who almost always remain behind the scenes.

🎶 The orchestra musicians.

They are the ones who make the music truly live. They play through long rehearsals, follow the conductor, catch the breath of the soloist, and hold the entire performance together — doing it all with precision, professionalism, and heart.

🙏 We do not always see their faces. We do not always hear their names in the applause. But without them, there would be no performance, no premiere, no living musical moment.

❤️ We want to thank every musician who has been part of Lyrica Classic on large stages and in intimate venues.

💬 Is there an orchestra musician you especially remember from one of our performances?

06/25/2026

😱 Is mono-opera scary?

One voice. One story.

No chorus, no crowd scenes, no symphony orchestra to hide behind.

📖 A monoopera is a work for a single performer, where everything depends on the story, voice, the text, and the emotional tension. No spectacle to distract you. Just one person on stage — and the audience face-to-face with them.

💔 That is exactly why this genre so often speaks about the hardest things: trauma, loneliness, memory, inner fracture.

🌟 In grand opera, you can admire the scale.

🌟 In mono-opera, you have to listen for real.

Maybe that is why it can feel so intense.

And so honest.

💬 What do you think of this format?
😱 — intense, but intriguing
🦄 — want to learn more
❤️ — I love mono-opera

P.S. At Lyrica Classic, we have already presented three mono-opera works, and you can listen to them on our YouTube channel - https://clck.ru/3UM3Ud.

🎶 We spoke with composer Sergei Khrichenko about a work that does not try to persuade, explain, or declare.

💙 His Cantata of Peace is written for a wordless voice. No text. No slogans. No direct statement. What it holds instead is something more fragile: an inner state. A longing for peace, kindness, and purity.

✨ In the interview, Sergei speaks about the spiritual dimension of this music, why it matters to him, and how a composition without words can still say something essential.

🎧 The full conversation is now available on our Across Oceans podcast.

📺 And the recording of the Cantata of Peace will be released soon on our YouTube channel — subscribe now so you do not miss it.
