Four Note Opera by Johnson, út 16 dub 2019, Od (2019/2019), Režie Juraj Čiernik, Dirigent Paolo Gatto, National Moravian-Silesian Theatre, Ostrava, Czech Republic

Can an opera be written in four notes? The American composer Tom Johnson answered this question in the affirmative already in 1972. All he needed for this were the notes a, b, d, e, five soloists and a piano, and he created a successful, remarkable work that is still frequently performed around the world, full of intelligent humor arising from the music and the no less funny text connected with it. In the cast of this hour-long opera, the students of the vocal department at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ostrava and the opera soloists of the Moravian-Silesian National Theatre, many of whom are also their pedagogues, will meet in alternations.
