Sieden sang verse written by Beckett, which was, well, Beckett-y. Needless to say a lot of the text went over my head.
NEITHER
to and fro in shadow from inner to outer shadow
—
from impenetrable self to impenetrable unself by way of neither
—
as between two lit refuges whose doors once neared gently close, once away turned from gently part again
—
beckoned back and forth and turned away
—
heedless of the way, intent on the one gleam or the other
—
unheard footfalls only sound
—
till at last halt for good, absent for good from self and other
—
then no sound
—
then gently light unfading on that unheeded neither
—
unspeakable home

You said “Duchamp in a dancehall.” nyuk nyuk nyuk
I think this series is more or less failed. Personally, I love Feldman and his opera set was pretty nice so it was good. But the other two was disappointed ,literally. Specially, though I do love John zorn, his opera was not good!!! at all.
just so you all know–opera singers are never mic’d. that is their voice, and their voice only.
