Opera in the 20th century

The history of twentieth century opera. 1974B.

1974: the year in which the piece ‘The Awakening of Jacob’ van Krzysztof Penderecki premiered. But a lot more happened that year. The most spectacular, that is if you compare them to traditional operas, productions saw the light of day. From the serialist opera full-wing to Salvator Dalí’s ‘To Be God’ aided by the French avant-garde composer Igor Wakhévitch. Or even crazier: the predecessor to rock opera, a soulful opera by David Porter. 1974 was also the year in which Dutch offshore radio stations Veronica and Noordzee, had to stop broadcasting, while these meant a lot for the growth of diverse rock and pop music.
