CIRQUE LIFTS THE CURTAIN ON ‘ZARKANA’
November 9, 2012 - 8:22 am
The words got lost in translation between two summers of "Zarkana" at Radio City Music Hall. The new Cirque du Soleil that ultimately landed at Aria - now up and running as a "soft opening," with the official premiere Nov. 9 - was created for the cavernous art deco theater of New York City legend. But if you went there in 2011, you would have heard the performers sing in English. It was Cirque's experiment with "rock opera," composed by Australian musician Nick Littlemore.
