An opera about one of my favourite artists, you say? Intriguing.
"Lye is one of New Zealand's most celebrated artists who worked for many years in Britain and the US. His international reputation is based on his innovative achievements as a film-maker and kinetic sculptor." NBR
Via Gather and Hunt: " A cast of international and national singers have come together in a kinetic explosion of colour, movement and sound to pay tribute to Lye's legacy. With music composed by Eva de Castro-Robinson, artistic direction by Uwe Grodd, and libretto Roger Horrocks, this multimedia production sounds seriously intriguing. I want to know more, I want to see more, and I think the only answer is to pop along to the Maidment Theatre at some point in the very near future. "
