Gig Alert: Julia Holter's Tragedy Opera at National Sawdust 
Tickets: $34-$42, General Admission. Shows at 7PM, 6/22 & 6/23

Singer and composer Julia Holter writes music that blurs the line between acoustic and electronic, and between pop music and the classical art song tradition. Her 2011 album Tragedy worked just fine as a collection of songs, but Holter had something bigger in mind. Inspired by a play by Euripides, she is rearranging those songs into "The Tragedy Opera," a multimedia work that will include both live and recorded sound and video. Holter's "Tragedy Opera" will be staged tonight and tomorrow at National Sawdust in Brooklyn.  

Here's "Celebration", from the album Tragedy by Julia Holter.
