New York City
Hell the Opera
$20.00; $10.00 members
A lurid new opera by poet Eileen Myles and composer Michael Webster, Hell employs frank and lyrical language and an exalted baroque style to tear away the veils obscuring corporate silence and global disaster. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno and post 9/11 events, Hell takes up an elegiac and musical cudgel on behalf of free speech and sings out against the endless waging of war.
Presented by The People’s Opera and Beth Morrison Projects.
