Schoenberg in Hollywood World Premier and the Paramount Cafe

Free beverage with every meal at the Paramount Cafe if you show a ticket from a SCHOENBERG IN HOLLYWOOD performance.
Composer Tod Machover and librettist Simon Robson’s Schoenberg in Hollywood – based on a scenario by Braham Murray – takes inspiration from the life of Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg after he fled Hitler’s Europe in the 1930s. After settling in Los Angeles by way of Boston, Schoenberg considered composing film music, rediscovered his heritage, and looked for ways to make his work accessible to a wider public. Machover says Schoenberg’s search to reconcile art with entertainment, reflection with action, and tradition with revolution, is “one of the most inspiring stories of our time.” The opera explores the humor, heroism and pathos of Schoenberg’s struggle, providing “a glimpse of what may have happened if Schoenberg had, indeed, reconciled those opposites,” he said.
