Opera Cabal presents USW (Chicago performances)
Curtiss Hall (Fine Arts Building)
Chicago, IL
Commissioned by Opera Cabal in 2008, USW is a one-act, multi-media chamber opera based on the life, social conditions and writing of the Polish/German socialist Rosa Luxemburg. The text, assembled by Nielson, consists of fragmentary passages in multiple languages from works by Luxemburg, prominent socialists in the 19th century (including Marx, Engels and Jaurs), and poets from around the turn of the 20th century (including Trakl, Freiligrath and F. Scott Fitzgerald). Emmy Award winning director Habib Azar and video artist Alexander Overington weave together a stage action that is at times complimentary to and at times alienated from Nielson's austerely beautiful score.
