[BROADCAST] Beth Morrison Projects: Opera of the Week – Ellen West
Free
Ricky Ian Gordon – Ellen West
BMP is keeping the work of our artists out in the world as theaters are shuttered by offering an “Opera of the Week" which will stream on our homepage for one week every Thursday at noon.
This week we share Ellen West, a remarkable operatic poem that plunges into the emotional, psychological, and physical challenges of a woman struggling with perceptions of her body, her relationship with food, and the world closing in around her. Inspired by one of the earliest cases of existential analysis, poet Frank Bidart and composer Ricky Ian Gordon examine the lives of psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger and his patient, Ellen West.
The broadcast will start at 12 PM Eastern / 9 AM Pacific
