Vocalist

New Century opens its 30th Anniversary Season with a gripping musical radio drama that will transport you back to the seismic cultural shifts happening in 1938’s Berlin. Gathering clouds of war in Europe loomed large over the events of that year, fueling the songwriters of the era to create works stunning in their candor, humor and commentary about the rapid changes in German society and growing threats of violence. In this innovative multimedia production, Music Director Daniel Hope and New Century will take you on a fascinating musical tour of works by Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht, Hanns Eisler, and more, while vocalists Thomas Hampson and Horst Maria Merz narrate the action in the dual roles of radio broadcasters and singers. You won’t want to touch that dial!
