Michael John LaChiusa
Composer and lyricist of Bernarda Alba.
Composer Michael John LaChiusa explains his longtime fascination with the works of Lorca, which led to his new musical work Bernarda Alba; how he transformed a trio of Japanese stories into See What I Wanna See; tantalizingly hints at other literary works that he may pull off his shelf and adapt one day; and describes writing for the voices of performers like Audra McDonald and others.
