Europeras 3 & 4

Album by John Cage & Long Beach Opera

Europeras 3 & 4 is a recording of John Cage’s experimental operas that use chance operations to recontextualise fragments of European operatic repertoire, distributing vocal, instrumental and stage materials within open, indeterminate frameworks. The release belongs to avant‑garde and experimental opera, engaging themes of cultural memory and the deconstruction of operatic tradition.
First released: 1995
