Themes of climate change and social justice will be at the center of the 2022-23 season of Stanford Live, a diverse offering of performing arts events encompassing music, dance, theater and more.

The schedule, which runs Sept. 30 to May 11, is set to include several commissioned works on timely topics. They range from “The Ritual of Breath Is the Rite to Resist,” an evening-length opera-theater piece by composer Jonathan Berger, librettist Vievee Francis and visual artist Enrico Riley reflecting on the 2014 death of Eric Garner at the hands of New York City police officers; to “Jaku Mumor,” a work about Ghanaian fishermen by composer Okaidja Afroso.

“Eden,” a celebration of the natural world by mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato and the period-instrument ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, is also in the lineup; along with “Broken Chord,” a blend of theater, dance and music by South African director-choreographer Gregory Maqoma, and “Leviathan,” a new show by the Australian circus company Circa.

Other notable offerings include “Mekong: Life,” a multimedia production by the Vietnamese American composer and multi-instrumentalist Vanessa Vân-Ánh Võ, and the premiere of “The Lost Birds,” a requiem for extinct species composed by Christopher Tin for the vocal ensemble Voces8.

Scheduled musical performances include the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Music Director Riccardo Muti; pianists Lang Lang and Hélène Grimaud; pop artists Bruce Cockburn, Caetano Veloso, Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt; and jazz greats Cécile McLorin Salvant and Regina Carter. Broadway diva Patti LuPone is also set to bring her solo show “Don’t Monkey With Broadway.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 29, following a member presale beginning Thursday, June 2. Full details are atlive.stanford.edu.
