The Fall of the House of Usher - An Opera!

I found a review for an opera based on “The Fall of the House of Usher” which debuted in 2009 at the Nashville Opera.  The reviewer is a college English professor named B.J Keeton who keeps a blog documenting, as he proclaims on the site, “just about anything that grabs his attention.”  The review for “The Fall of the House of Usher” contains various pictures, and details about the show’s production.  The reviewer says that the show itself “creeped” him out.  Thus I suppose one can conclude the main theme of the short story was in fact captured by the opera.  The opera showed abstract images representing the state of mind of each of the characters flowing across the stage, behind the actors.  This is a really interesting way of portraying the depth as well as the progression of insanity experienced by Roderick and his sister.  The reviewer also mentions that the music was never in tune to the singing.  The singers were harmonious with one another, but never to the music that played behind them.  He says that this created a “visceral” feeling that something was simply wrong and out of place.  This is undoubtedly one of the trademark themes of the plot of this entire story. (http://www.professorbeej.com/2009/11/nashville-opera-fall-of-the-house-of-usher-tpac.html)
