Mark Stryker Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Not many details but looks like composer Daniel Schnyder -- whose music I don't recall hearing -- has been commissioned by Opera Philadelphia to write an opera about Charlie Parker. Caveat emptor, of course, but here's hoping for greatness. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/30/be-bopera-charlie-parkers-yardbird-coming-from-opera-philadelphia/?_php=true&_type=blogs&smid=nytimesarts&_r=0 Coda: Upon reflection I may have come across Schnyder's music in passing on records with the Absolute Ensemble (chamber orchestra led by Kristjan Jarvi) but can't recall specifics. Will look into this when I have time. Edited January 30, 2014 by Mark Stryker Quote
jazzbo Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Wild idea! Best of luck to all involved. Quote
Quasimado Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Opera? Well, he "may" have been pleased with the idea. The result? Who knows ... I just hope Daniel knows (really) who he is dealing with ... Q Quote
