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.”
Europera V
The 60′ Europera V, a commission of Yvar Mikhashoff for pianist, two singers, lighting and tape, premiered May 21, 1991 in Amsterdam. The production in the garden of the Museum of Modern Art in New York was the last performance attended by Cage before his death on August 12, 1992.
