Bree Nichols Gives World Premiere of Christopher Jessup’s The Captured Goddess in Prague

Acclaimed soprano Bree Nichols presented the world premiere of Christopher Jessup’s The Captured Goddess on November 6, 2026, at Atrium Žižkov in Prague, Czech Republic. Joined by pianist Ahmad Hedar, Nichols brought Jessup’s dramatic new work to life in a performance marking another significant international milestone in the composer's rapidly expanding career.

Inspired by the poetry of Amy Lowell, The Captured Goddess explores themes of confinement, defiance, and transcendence. The Prague premiere precedes an orchestral recording with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra and Nichols in December 2026, ahead of the work’s anticipated commercial release in 2027.
