Gianni - Opera by Brandt Brauer Frick & Martin Butler

Premiering Friday, June 2nd ~

Boiler Room Berlin presents Gianni — first premiered at the Deutsch Oper Berlin, directed by Martin Butler and with original music by Brandt Brauer Frick.

Butler and Brandt Brauer Frick develop an abstract narrative that sees the unique cross-section of opera, modern dance, electronic music and fashion. The death of Gianni Versace is at the epicentre of this masterwork, portrayed through the decadent style of 1980s vogueing culture. An extraordinary blend of opera and electronic music — creating one of Boiler Room's most unique and special recordings to date.
