- Nov 20, 2009 at 3:00pm to Nov 21, 2009 at 3:00pm EST
- Location: FIAF • Florence Gould Hall
- Description: The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), in partnership with Opéra Français de New York (OFNY), presents a new experimental work that celebrates two extraordinary artists, Claude Debussy and Edgar Allan Poe, with Debussy & Poe: The Devil in the Belfry & The Fall of the House of Usher. Coinciding with the bi-centennial anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s birth (1809-1849), the FIAF and OFNY production commemorates the vast influence of poet and short-story writer Poe, whom Debussy declared his favorite American writer, with a daring fusion of opera and theater.
