"Orphan of Zhao" Closes and "Pieces of April" Premieres

After a successful week-long run, performances of the Chinese opera "Orphan of Zhao" are finished at New York's Lincoln Center Festival. The opera was scored by Stephin Merritt, featuring both Chinese and Western instruments. Opening this fall will be the film "Pieces of April", which will include five previously released Merritt songs by The Magnetic Fields and the 6ths, plus one new song and incidental music. At this point, there are no plans for soundtrack albums for either "Orphan of Zhao" or "Pieces of April". If this changes, we will let you know.
