It centers around the life of the pioneering jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, though also offers significant commentary on the American opioid crisis and racial inequality.
The Gotham Opera Chamber and Opera Philadelphia commissioned Schnyder to write Charlie Parker's Yardbird in 2013, and he spent the next two years working alongside Bridgette Wimberly to develop the music and libretto. The opera premiered in 2015 at the Perelman Theater in Philadelphia.
The plot of Charlie Parker's Yardbird follows real-life figures Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, though it features fictionalized and supernatural elements. The opera begins with Parker’s spirit leaving his body shortly after his death, and Parker reflects on his life’s journey. Though troubled by the injustices he experienced in life, Parker eventually realizes that his life’s purpose was to play the saxophone and he travels to the Great Beyond at peace.
Charlie Parker's Yardbird became popular following a nationally televised production at the Apollo Theater and has since been performed by leading groups like the Madison Opera and English National Opera.
