Memories from Paul McCartney’s life in Liverpool, England, inspire this story of growing up and finding your way. Evans Mirageas, the Harry T. Wilks Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera, offers insight into the first fully staged production of the piece.

Beginning with Latin text that means “not for ourselves, but for the whole world were we born,” Liverpool Oratorio explores formative moments, relationships, and the responsibilities we accept. The world-premiere stage adaptation of McCartney’s acclaimed 1991 work for orchestra, chorus, and soloists includes the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Ballet, and Cincinnati Boychoir.
