The patron saint for so many causes, Nietzsche receives a liederabend about his own search for self. To parse the uberphilosopher's psyche, this evening brings together period-appropriate music (Brahms' Four Serious Songs, Wolf's Prometheus, Liszt's The Sad Monk) and his literature, with rhetoric from both personal letters and philosophical works, especially the celebrated Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Penned by James Melo and set in the asylum where Friedrich was brought post- mental collapse, tonight's program also spotlights the Young People's Chorus of New York City.
