A new opera by Dave Ruder
The Gentleman Rests is a concert performance of a new opera depicting the special session of congress in 2001 in which the Congressional Black Caucus attempted to halt the certification of Floridas votes for the contested presidential election due to alleged disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of Floridians.
Composer Dave Ruder (thingNY) sets transcripts of the congressional session to music for five vocalists, viola, trombone, Rhodes piano and bassoon, including the ironic drama of Al Gore (as President of the Senate) following congressional protocol by gaveling over each objecting Black Caucus member, hastening the end of his presidential ambitions.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
THURSDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
