Richard Danielpour's New Opera "The Grand Hotel Tartarus" | Classical Conversations | Full Interview

Composer Richard Danielpour joins us to talk about his new opera "The Grand Hotel Tartarus," in which six guests find themselves at a hotel, unaware of how they got there. Danielpour also talks about his recent recording for Naxos Records, "Songs in Three Languages." The song cycles heard here are sung in three languages central to the composer’s life. Songs of Love and Loss is in Farsi and sets the poetry of Rumi; Canti Della Natura, in Italian, takes sonnets attributed to Vivaldi in The Four Seasons; while Songs of My Father is set to the English poems of Danielpour’s father.
