The New York Philharmonic and Music Director Jaap van Zweden’s World Premiere performances of David Lang’s prisoner of the state will be released on June 26, 2020.

The New York Philharmonic premiered David Lang’s prisoner of the state in June 2019, conducted by Jaap van Zweden and featuring soprano Julie Mathevet (The Assistant); tenor Alan Oke (The Governor); baritone Jarrett Ott (The Prisoner); bass-baritone Eric Owens (The Jailer); tenors Matthew Pearce and John Matthew Myers, baritone Steven Eddy, and bass-baritone Rafael Porto (Guards); and Men of the Concert Chorale of New York, Chorus Master Donald Nally (Chorus of Prisoners). With a libretto by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer that self-consciously refers to Beethoven’s opera, Fidelio – and incorporates Machiavelli, Jeremy Bentham, and Hannah Arendt, among other influences – prisoner of the state tells the story of a woman who disguises herself as a prison guard to rescue her husband from unjust political imprisonment. It was co-commissioned by the New York Philharmonic in collaboration with Rotterdam’s de Doelen, London’s Barbican, Barcelona’s l’Auditori, Bochum Symphony Orchestra, Bruges’s Concertgebouw, and Malmö Opera.
