So this weekend the Long Beach Opera (disclosure: I’m on the board) is performing our tribute to Mozart’s birthday – without any actual music by him (or any heads of deities, you’ll be glad to know).

We’ll be performing work by Michael Nyman, Arvo Part and Louis Andriessen composed to honor Mozart, as well as showing a Peter Greenaway film – ” M is for Man, Music & Mozart.”

I happen to have a couple of extra tickets for Friday night (two because of my friend’s motorcycle accident last weekend), so drop me an email if you’re in Los Angeles and are interested in coming. I’ll make you a deal…
