Harawi, Olivier Messiaen’s deeply affecting, hourlong song cycle for voice and piano, is presented in a dramatic new interpretation to open the Cal Performances 2024–25 season. Moving from a musical duet to a quartet with dancers, the production breaks open Messiaen’s cycle, connects the relationship between movement and music, and grapples with the intensity of love and loss as part of human experience.
