NEW YORK—There is perhaps nothing more painful than the forced separation of two people who are truly in love—no matter how legitimate the reason for that separation. This topical subject is brilliantly handled by On Site Opera, which taps into these feelings with the world premiere of “To My Distant Love.”
Presenting the work in connection with the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, On Site Opera is billing it as “the world’s first telephone-based opera experience.” Each performance is presented for an audience of one.
