The Stories And Songs Of Ned Rorem Come To Life In LOVE, ROREM at fortyfivedownstairs
by BWW News Desk - November 21, 2019
From the extravagances of 1950s Paris, to the devastation of New York in the 80s and 90s, composer and diarist Ned Rorem captured the essence of what it meant to be gay, an artist and in love. For the first time, his words and his music are brought together in this stunning production.Presented as part of Midsumma Festival at the beloved Melbourne gallery and performance space fortyfivedownstairs, Belinda Hanne Reid: Love, Rorem is an intimate, compelling production, centred around the music and writings of American composer Ned Rorem. A living legend, Rorem is considered in classical music circles internationally as being one of the twentieth-century's greatest composers. Time Magazine labelled him 'the world's best composer of art songs', and his music has won numerous awards, including a Pulitzer Prize and a Grammy. In addition to his music, his work as a writer and diarist also gained him great notoriety. Rorem's frank and unashamed descriptions of his life as a gay man (at time when such issues were considered extraordinarily taboo) were considered scandalous throughout Europe and the US. Through his at times charming, at times naive and at times exhibitionist honesty, he became as The New Yorker described in 2003 'a pioneer for modern gay culture'.
