MUSIC::THE KNIFE COMPOSES "TOMORROW, IN A YEAR" OPERA FOR HOTEL PRO FORMA IN DENMARK

Photobucket

Musical duo, The Knife, has recently been invited to write and compose an opera for Danish performance house, Hotel Pro Forma.

The opera, titled Tomorrow, in a Year, explores English naturalist Charles Darwin’s perception of nature and time. A performance of evolution and change, of transformation and mutation. One that does not deal with Darwin but acts like Darwin. "The Swedish music group creates completely new compositions that challenge the conventional conception of opera. The form is experimental and exploratory" (Hotel Pro Forma press release). The opera is set to play sometime in 2009. That just might be reason enough to take a trip to the Nordic country.
