Anthony Braxton to Lead New Four-Act Opera
As he readies his latest four-act opera in his Trillium Cycle, Trillium J (the Nonunconfessionables) for performances starting April 17 at the Tri-Centric Festival at Roulette in Brooklyn, it’s hard to resist thinking of possible parallels between Anthony Braxton and another prodigious operatic composer, Richard Wagner. Perhaps not so far from the truth, as Braxton confides in this interview with Nate Wooley. Other influences on Braxton surface in this exchange: some, like Elliot Carter and Stockhausen, more obvious than others. Enough: our spoiler alert light is blinking.
