Tom Johnson The Four Note Opera

An hour long opera for voices and piano that only uses four pitches, and is full of variety, expression and hilarious to boot - too good to be true, right? Not at all! Tom Johnson’s The Four Note Opera has been an underground favorite since its premiere in 1972. Supremely well-crafted for the vocalists and written in the minimalist style, Johnson’s tale is a joyous and bouyant look at idosyncracies (!) of beloved genre of opera, as well as the charming foibles of those who perform it.
