Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Eric Whitacre (awesome choral composer, trained by John Corigliano) has written an opera adaptation of Paradise Lost. Paradise Lost: Opera Electronica It's kind of amazing looking, and the lead soprano is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Morningstar Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The music is really cool. Every once in a while the lyrics bother me by how simplistic they are, but the music supporting it is always inventive and original. It definitely deserves a listen. It's so odd that Eric Whitacre actually started out in a techno punk band in high school... it wasn't until college that he decided to become a "Classical" composer. It's nice to see that he managed to find a way to embrace his roots while creating something totally new and exciting. Eric Whitacre = Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
