Detroit Opera

As the United States approaches its semiquincentennial, Detroit Opera invites you to Apartment House 1776, a revolutionary, immersive operatic experience staged inside the galleries of the Cranbrook Art Museum. Originally conceived by John Cage for the US bicentennial in 1976, Apartment House 1776 places you at the crossroads of the nation’s colonial foundations, imagined as a chorus of voices drifting from apartment windows. Listen, share, and consider how the multiplicity of 1776 still resonates today. No two audience members will have the same experience!

The Handmaid’s Tale serves as a cautionary tale that forces reflection on whether America's core values—freedom and separation of church and state—are at risk.
