P3D 3D Event in Minneapolis

["Alexa R.W. Smith" <arws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just received in the mail a brochure for a special event next February in 
Minneapolis, MN.  So for anyone around the area (or others interested), here's 
the info:

As part of the University of MN Northrup Jazz Season, on Sat. Feb. 13, 1999 at 
8:00 pm there will be an event titled "Monsters of Grace".  It is "a digital 
opera in three dimensions and is a new and continually evolving work by composer
Philip Glass and director/designer Robert Wilson.  Monsters spectators wear 3D 
glasses to view Wilson's sequence of computer-created video images - each 
performance advancing the 3-D animation pioneered by Silicon Graphics of 
Jurassic Park fame.  The accompanying score, performed live by Philip Glass and 
ensemble with vocal soloists, was composed by Glass for live amplified voices, 
woodwinds, keyboards, Macintosh computers, MIDI interface, and Middle Eastern 
string and percussion instruments.  The libretto of ecstatic love songs (sung in
English) is based on the 13th-century poetry of mystic Jalaladin Rumi.  
Co-presented by Walker Art Center".  

So there you go!  Just what we in the midwest will need in the middle of winter 
:-)

Ticket prices are $28, $22, $16
