NN: I would let them look through the camera. I would explain myself even more. I would tell them that I’m an art teacher. I would be just a little more open with what it was that I was doing and why I liked them. Sometimes it went south, and sometimes they liked the idea the more they thought about it and the more they saw what the process was. The more they trusted me, in other words. After graduating from Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire I studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. My music is probably a symbiosis of everything - something Russian, something English, something of my own...I love living in London and seeing a lot of shows and concerts. In terms of my own music, I simply I write what I want to hear. It is hard to say exactly what influences what ...

Four Sisters: A gripping and emotional historical fiction

The National Opera Studio takes the lead, along with UK opera companies and training organisations, to create partnerships and initiatives that encourage more diversity on our opera stages. NN: When you’re looking at a line of them, or when you’re looking at the book, you don’t have to jump around. It seems to me that would spoil the smoothness of going from year to year. Looking at photographs of the sisters alone, we enter a parallel world where time is compressed. In a potent exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, the hanging offers something more. Quiet from a distance, magnetic up close, “The Brown Sisters” are arranged in a chronological line along the room’s four walls. Above and below the portraits are two, sometimes three photographs taken by Nixon that same year. The effect of these expanded pairings is to remind the viewer that the sisters do not exist in a vacuum. Although many of the images are completely unrelated to “The Brown Sisters,” they add a degree of richness, life, and human context to the dominant timeline of the four characters. For example, in 1988, Nixon made photographs that are raw with sorrow and grief of the deepest kind—he was working with subjects dying of AIDS. Opening our perspective beyond the sisters themselves fleshes out the attentions and attractions in Nixon’s eye as he moved from year to year. Tuchais a piano-and-voice version of an orchestral song that was part of my chamber opera Songs at the Well, commissioned by the Stanislavsky andNemirovich-DanchenkoMusical Theatre in Moscow and performed there in 2012. The texts come from a collection of old Russian love-songs and laments.At the end of Little Women, the sisters find their lives changed forever by the circumstances of the novel, but Louisa May Alcott couldn’t leave it there and offered a sequel set a few years on. Now, Kitty Evans and Safia Lamrani add their perspective by relocating the siblings to the modern day to discover that despite marriage, the opportunity to leave home and the freedom of a university education, these Four Sisters cannot escape themselves or each other.
