Elle A Fui
(from "The Tales of Hoffman" by Offenbach)
The great experiment.
Through my mother (opera conductor Eve Queler) I've had a very long relationship with a lot of operatic repertoire. This music swirled around my young life, as I'd come home from school to find rehearsals, and great opera singers in my living room. I also sang in the children's chorus of the New York State Theater for eight years.
I've wondered what it would be like to take some of these beautiful melodies and bring them into the musical environment I've been living in.
Compelling at least.
