Anthony Braxton's multimedia opera project Trillium has been in the making since the 1990s. Braxton, a legend of American experimental music and a unique improviser, explores themes of metaphysics, mysticism, and human consciousness.
The world premiere of the five-hour opera Trillium X was performed on 1 August 2023 at the Prague Music Performance International Festival and was met with extraordinary interest from the public and the world media. Music critic and columnist Boris Klepal called the premiere „the cultural event of 2023“ and a New York Times review said: "On the whole, the performance came off as a significant milestone in Braxton’s opera career, thanks to some revelatory work by a cast of 12, the Prague Music Performance Orchestra and the conductor Roland Dahinden, a longtime Braxton collaborator.
The PMP Orchestra is preparing to release an 8-CD set featuring the world premiere of Anthony Braxton's opera Trillium X and a studio version of the Darmstadt recording under the direction of the Swiss conductor Roland Dahinden. The CD box set will include a Blue-ray of the complete world premiere recording and a documentary entitled Making Trillium X by director Marek Bouda.
The production of the world premiere and the financing of the recording were very challenging and involved several institutions - Prague Music Performance, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, and the International Institute in Darmstadt. However, the release of the CD set requires further funding. For the first time in our twelve-year history, we are approaching our supporters and fans of contemporary music with a call for financial support for this project, as we consider the publication of Trillium X to be a major contribution to the scene of contemporary art and contemporary music in a global context.
