Dramaturg Cori Ellison speaks with George Manahan, City Opera's Music Director about "Looking Forward".  Maestro Manahan will conduct and offer commentary on the music and the pioneering 20th-century geniuses who created it, including Claude Debussy, Benjamin Britten, Igor Stravinsky, and Olivier Messiaen.
 
City Opera will perform "Looking Forward" in each of the city’s five boroughs, beginning with a performance at Staten Island’s St. George Theatre on October 4th, and culminating in a concert at Manhattan’s newly-renovated Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on April 11th, 2009.  Listen to this podcast for a generous sampling of the "Looking Foward" music and an insider's peek at the ideas behind this concert.
