About the Program
In its American premiere, London opera star Loré Lixenberg headlines a performance adaptation of Carl Djerassi’s genre-bending book Four Jews on Parnassus—a Conversation, featuring the imagined posthumous conversations of Arnold Schoenberg, Walter Benjamin, Gershom Scholem and Theodor Adorno, as well as songs by Schoenberg, some rap music, and the art of Paul Klee.
After the performance, Djerassi will be in conversation with Larry and Ronald Schoenberg, Arnold Schoenberg’s sons.
This production, directed by Vienna-based Isabella Gregor, features Equity actors Gerry Hiken, Kay Kostopolous, Rush Rehm, Ken Sonkin, and Bill Wolak.
