• First Listen: The Music of HADRIAN

    By COC Staff

    Johannes Debus and the COC Orchestra

    Our subscribers were the first to hear this excerpt live at our Behind the Season event back in March and now we're bringing the sounds of Rufus Wainwright's new opera to the people.

    Maestro Johannes Debus conducts this excerpt, called "Entr'acte" ("Between the Acts"), and offers his play-by-play in written annotations. The magnificent COC Orchestra performs.
