About

Émigré is a collaboration between the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, Long Yu and Deutsche Grammophon. The oratorio was carefully crafted over five years and has a libretto by Pulitzer Prize winner Mark Campbell, with additional lyrics by Brock Walsh.

Inspired by true events, Émigré deals with a little-known chapter of the Second World War: the welcome given by the people of Shanghai to Jewish refugees from Nazi Europe in the 1930s. At its core, Émigré is a love story that is a parable for the world. The turmoil that tears the couples apart in the story is a reflection of how the world often tears itself apart.
