• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Europeras is a series of five operas by the composer John Cage. Cage explained the punning title thus: “For two hundred years the Europeans have been sending us their operas. Now I’m sending them back.”

  Europeras III and IV were commissioned by the Almeida Festival in London and premiered in 1990, subsequently touring. Both prominently feature gramophones, the former in combination with two pianists (replacing the orchestra). The latter is a chamber piece for singer, gramophone and table lamp.

  Mode Records issued a 2-CD set of “Europeras III and IV” in 1995: catalog # 37/38.
