LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Looking at Sascha today, one can see a man who is accomplished, successful and in every word achieved the American Dream. But for Sascha, life did not begin easy, in fact life began with Sascha being very disabled and having a condition called spina bifida, hydrocephaly and Arnold Chiari II. Essentially, these disabilities should have left him in a wheelchair and mentally disabled, but he overcame.

Disturbingly dark and awesomely foreboding, evil is certain to lurk behind the walls of the House of Usher. Springing from the fertile imagination of legendary American author Edgar Allan Poe, and re-created now as an opera by the wildly expressive Philip Glass, Nashville Opera's production of The Fall of the House of Usher represents a courageous leap of artistic faith for the company's creative brain trust. And with its mesmerizing staging conceived by director John Hoomes and production designer Barry Steele, Nashville Opera soars - bringing a brilliant production to the stage of the James K. Polk Theatre at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Shocking and riveting, provocative and challenging, this opera leaves its audience stunned and spent, grateful to have witnessed an artistic triumph of such extraordinary proportions.
