Review: Kanye West packs the Bowl for 'Nebuchadnezzar,' but the opera feels like a passion play or, worse, school production. Dare we wish for more Kanye-ness?
More than 120 workers at the Museum of Contemporary Art will try to unionize with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.There were connections. At one point I heard a bit of his song “Wolves,” and some of the choral arrangements are definitely in line with what he’s been doing in his Sunday Service performances. But I’m not sure these arrangements did much to showcase the choir.
This then was probably closer to the old days, at least on this scale. And I must say the sense of not knowing what to expect — there was no program, no libretto, West didn’t even use the video screens — added a kind of immediacy that you will never find in a modern opera house. Do you think this is what the crowd expected?Good question.
He actually maintains a fairly minimal presence in Sunday Service; he lets the choir and his musicians take the spotlight. So I can see this as a natural evolution of that. In addition to religion, of course, Kanye has been talking about politics lately. Does the Nebuchadnezzar figure have any kind of political resonance elsewhere in opera or classical music?
