Since being encouraged to move from Lincoln, Nebraska to New York City
by Philip Glass six years ago, composer and performer John Moran has received
theatrical productions of his operas Jack Benny!, The Hospital,
The Haunted House, and The Trilogy of Cyclic Existence at La Mama,
E.T.C., The Manson Family at Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts; and Mathew In the School of Life
at The Kitchen. Each of Moran's operas
have had an innovative impact on the music/theatre community, receiving notoriety
in the press, including two Bessies and an Obie award in 1994. The Manson
Family has been recorded on Point Music/Philips Classics with a provocative
cast that includes Iggy Pop and Terre Roche, among others. Moran is currently
a Columbia recording artist and has recently recorded Mathew in the School
of Life, featuring Allen Ginsberg. Mr. Moran's latest work is the upcoming
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligri, to be performed at the A.R.T.
starting in Febraury, 1997.
