Item Description
Get the latest news from Long Beach Opera, as they present their latest avant-guard work, "The News." Composed by Jacob TV, this show is a brilliantly colored collage culled from today's news—a competing cacophony of politics, economics, religion, war, celebrity trivia, and commercials. Singing commentators create a vocal whirlwind over a brilliant eclectic score by Dutch composer JacobTV.
The News is a reality show in which live music is synchronized with non-fiction footage from the international media, based on speech grooves. Two singing anchors present breaking news, accompanied by a nine-piece band and a huge screen that shows manipulated items about politics, economy, religion, war and peace, showbiz and trivialities. Filled with bitterly funny irony, the opera provides an eye-opening view of a society addicted to an endles stream of 24/7 infotainment. The music by JacobTV is a blend of classical and world music, blues, jazz, rock, and pop.
"JacobTV is one of the most thought-provoking provocateurs working in today's new music. Also one of the most savagely entertaining."
–John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
