Beethoven becomes unmoored from reality
and visits our time, witnessing its beauties and horrors—
inspiring him to compose his final work: Die Grösse Fuge.
Composer Elliott Sharp (elliottsharp.com) presents the US Premiere in English of his opera Die Grösste Fuge (The Greatest Fugue) at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn. This opera features the virtuosic bass/baritone Nicholas Isherwood as Ludwig van Beethoven with DGF String Quartet, prerecorded electroacoustic backing tracks, and projection design by Janene Higgins.
A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing on YouTube.
