ZAPPA'S "200 MOTELS" TO BE PERFORMED IN NICE (FR) NEXT MONTH

Zappa's "200 Motels" to be performed in Nice on December 1 & 2.

You might / should know about this if you frequent this blog.
Anyway, here's a newsflash from Facebook:

"Frank Zappa at the Opera? Pfffff... Impossible!!!" 🙄 
As a famous sports brand would say: Impossible is nothing 😉
The Opéra de #Nice has done it! 😁 

After huge success at the Philharmonie de Paris and the Zénith de Strasbourg, the #phenomenon "200 Motels - The Suites" lands at the Opéra de Nice on December 1 and 2! 😎 

🧳 L'Opéra de Nice continues its original journey towards American music: after the triumph of Aknathen by Philip Glass (New-York) in 2021, another great figure (#westcoast) makes his entrance at the Opéra: Frank Zappa! 

🎸 A resolutely protean artist, Frank Zappa made an unclassifiable film in 1971, 200 Motels, a sort of slightly madcap fiction-documentary on the life of a rock band: The Mothers of Invention. At the end of a long U.S. tour, the band is invited to take part in a TV show... which soon goes off the rails! 

🎶 Léo Warynski (conducting) and Antoine Gindt (directing) bring together the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, the Chœur de l'Opéra de Nice, a rock band (The Headshakers) and the Percussions de Strasbourg instrumental ensemble for what promises to be a colorful production!
