Finally fulfilled my dream of having a Coney Island photoshoot! 🎡🎆🎠 And a @nytimes feature! Thank you @adamnag for the writing and @icy_squid (David Billet) for the photos!

“Mazzoli, who has written seven operas, has emerged as a musical refutation to the notion that the art form is a creaky, elitist holdover from another century. “Missy is one of the shining lights of music,” said Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the music director at the Met. She “can bring new audiences,” he added. “That’s the common thread with composers of our time. This generation now is a bit more connected to film music, pop music. She’s definitely bridging with other types of music and other types of art forms.”
“Gelb called Mazzoli “one of the greatest and most prolific composers of today” and argued that “the future of our art form has to rely upon accessible new work.”
He added: “What’s interesting about her is she is someone that the critics can like — and also, I can like: Works that are theatrically engaging, musically thrilling and accessible to the audiences. ‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ is not going to be the only opera by Missy we are going to be performing at the Met.”

Take a look at our feature in the New York Times (@nytimes)!
Our founders Missy Mazzoli (@missymazzoli) and Ellen Reid (@ellenreidmusic) share their impetus for starting Luna Composition Lab and the important work that is needed to change the field of composition for female, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming composers in this article by Lisa Hirsch. Whether you are new to our community, or you’ve been one of our champions since the beginning, we hope you enjoy reading this piece that celebrates our first decade.

⭐ QOBUZ EDITOR’S PICK ⭐
‘The Listeners’ has been named Editor’s Pick by Qobuz! A wonderful recognition for Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek’s captivating opera thriller, praised for its score and its “lyricism that bridges the gap between opera and musical theatre.”
Recorded live at the Lyric Opera of Chicago and conducted by Enrique Mazzola, with soprano Nicole Heaston in the role of Claire.

Composer Missy Mazzoli made history this month when she became the first woman to have an opera commissioned and premiered by The Metropolitan Opera. “Lincoln In The Bardo” is a collaboration with librettist Royce Vavrek and director Lileana Blain-Cruz, and is based on the celebrated novel of that name by George Saunders, a huge music fan who was also involved in the process of translating his epic story onto the opera stage.
Mazzoli first began appearing in the WNYC studios as a young composer leading an all-female electroacoustic chamber ensemble called Victoire; she was named Composer Of The Year by Musical America in 2022; and along with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid has founded and led the Luna Labs project which mentors young female and non-binary composers.
She stopped by our studios to talk about the five-year journey that culminated on opening night – and the subsequent journey which began at that same time. The full interview is available now on our YouTube channel, youtube.com/NewSoundsMusic
You can hear the interview and some excerpts from “Lincoln In The Bardo” on tonight’s episode of New Sounds, at 11 pm on WNYC-FM.
For an early listen of the episode, go to newsounds.org and stream the episode titled “#5201, With Missy Mazzoli, and October 2026 New Releases”
Tickets for “Lincoln in the Bardo” are available through November 14th at metopera.org

Composer @missymazzoli is the first woman ever to have an opera premiered by the @metopera. Based on the award-winning novel by George Saunders, Mazzoli and librettist Royce Vavrek's "Lincoln in the Bardo" depicts Abraham Lincoln mourning his 11-year-old son, Willie, whose passing has led the young boy to a threshold place between the living and the dead.
@faithsalie talks with Mazzoli about the opera and the influence that punk rock and music videos had on her work.

I wrote an article for Marie Claire about my love for MTV and my early punk idols, women who showed me how to be confident, bold and fearless. 🖤❤️🤘🏻
