Live: Something Went Wrong In The Lab Today...Very Wrong
"Help meeeee! Heeeeeeelp meeeeeeeee!" Put David Cronenberg, Plácido Domingo, Howard Shore and David Henry Hwang together and they'll give you something to remember... "The Fly: The Opera". Dopeness abounds in this sickly 80's scarefest reworked to the LA Opera scene. Time magazine described "The Fly" as "a profound parable on love and loss." And we say Cronenberg is the king of body horror and what better way to revisit this lonely, dark sterile look at the 80's than Placido Domingo producing the Opera version. In its metamorphosis into an opera, this dark romantic tragedy presents a Kafkaesque meditation on man's uneasy relationship with technology. As the doomed scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) and his girlfriend Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) battle some big issues with back hair.... I know an old lady who swallowed a fly...perhaps she'll die.
"The Fly: The Opera" takes place at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown LA. Click here for tickets.
