Douglas J. Cuomo
Composer Douglas J. Cuomo presents his opera-oratorio "Arjuna’s Dilemma," which explores the conflict between emotional and spiritual desire. Based on the story of the "Bhagavad Gita," Cuomo's fascinating stage work comes to New York next month, as part of the BAM Next Wave Festival.
Douglas J. Cuomo on "Arjuna’s Dilemma":
"'Arjuna’s Dilemma,' a 70-minute chamber opera, is my most ambitious composition to date. A work of both sweeping grandeur and piercing intimacy, Arjuna’s Dilemma seamlessly melds classical, jazz and traditional Indian musical idioms as it explores ancient themes that remain startlingly topical: the claims of conscience and duty in a time of war; the search for self-knowledge in a changing world."
