"ANGELS IN AMERICA -- THE OPERA"
A Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play and a multi-Emmy-winning film for television, Tony Kushner's epic "Angels in America" -- a searing saga of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s -- has also become a major event in the world of contemporary opera. Adapted by composer Peter Eötvös, "Angels in America -- The Opera" received unanimous raves at its 2004 premiere at Paris's Théâtre du Châtelet. The NEW YORK TIMES exclaimed, "The angels are singing now. ... Eötvös has produced from ['Angels in America'] a slippery and musically delightful combination of opera and musical." Filmed for television by François Roussillon and staged by Philippe Calvario, the opera features Daniel Belcher as the AIDS-stricken Prior Walter, Topi Lehtipuu as Prior's guilt-ridden lover Louis Ironson, Omar Ebrahim and Julia Migenes as the troubled Mormon couple Joe and Harper Pitt, Donald Maxell as the notorious Roy Cohn, and Barbara Hendricks as The Angel.
