Here is some behind-the-scenes footage from this beautiful, resurrected opera:

The Ensemble for the Romantic Century recently commissioned Nathan Siler to transform Gottschalk’s virtuosic piano piece “Union” to include a playful (and disruptive) barber shop quartet.  The piece is part of their fascinating production “Jules Verne: from the Earth to the Moon.”  April 8-12.
