Schoenberg's unfinished and notoriously difficult opera Moses und Aron is playing (g) this Sunday at 19:30 the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Duesseldorf. It's quite an event -- the opera's so difficult to stage that it's only performed once every couple of decades.
I'm thinking of going, but for some reason, the prospect of going to see a long, largely atonal opera hasn't sparked much interest among my friends. I might just go alone, but I always feel like a loser going to public events alone, even though it's pretty common in Germany. If there happens to be anyone else in or near Duesseldorf in the same boat (want to see the opera, can't find anyone else who does), then shoot me an email, and let's go together!
...floats our boats mightily.

Joys, woes, and throes of the ostensiblement-non-petit bourgeois' new clothes. It's all worth it, though.

I quite enjoyed it in Berlin in 1967 or 1968.

I would if I could - but Hanover is a bit too far away and no money in my pockets doesn't make it better.
