Some of you will recall our posts from the end of 2016, and the start of 2017 about Another Brick in the Wall, the award-winning new opera based on Pink Floyd's The Wall. Following the incredibly successful run in Canada, it has moved south of the border to the US, and Cincinnati Opera, in Ohio, will present it for the first time in the country from July 20-31, 2018, with tickets priced from $35 to $190.
Created with Roger Waters's full endorsement, it depicts Pink's journey from madness to redemption as never seen before, with sets created by designers from Cirque du Soleil, colossal video projections, a cast of 80, and a 70-piece orchestra in the pit. The production sold out its entire 10-performance run at the world premiere in Montreal last year. Read our fully illustrated review of the Montreal staging here.
UPDATE: Sam Jacobson was at one of these performances, and reviewed it for the classical music/opera website Bachtrack which you can read through this link. Worth checking out in case you are interested in attending any future stagings that may be arranged and announced...
