this is the description from the site, looks very good
THREE TALES STEVE REICH & BERYL KOROT They turned the world upside down: the crash of the Zeppelin Hindenburg in 1937, the atomic tests on the Bikini atoll in 1946 and the cloned sheep Dolly in 1997. Three breakthroughs emblematic for the growth of technology in the twentieth century. Composer Steve Reich and video-artist Beryl Korot used them as starting point for their ‘digital video-opera’ Three Tales, a project they started in 1997.
The show is a mixture of historic film material, photographs, interviews and texts. The whole of the twentieth century passes by in sound and vision. Apart from images of the events themselves, Western and non-Western scientific, historic and religious experts comment in interviews on developments in the world. Are human values often not diametrically opposed to developments in science and technology? And where is the boundary?
Eighteen musicians and singers from the German Ensemble Modern accompany Korot’s video images with intriguing music; the repetitive music that characterises Steve Reich’s compositions. His composition is made up of both music and spoken text. Reich has been even more successful in bringing together music and text than in the previous opera project by Reich and Korot, The Cave, that was seen at the 1993 Holland Festival. Connoisseurs have described The Cave and Three Tales as blueprints for 21st-century opera.
Music: Steve Reich Video: Beryl Korot Staging: Nick Mangano Lighting: Matthew Frey Costumes: Anita Yavich Conductor: Bradley Lubman Technical management: Steven Ehrenberg Video projection: Jack Young Sound: Norbert Ommer Technical coordination: Stephan Buchberger Sound software: Ben Rubin Performance: Ensemble Modern and Synergy Vocals
