SUMMARY:Apartment House 1776 – Presented by the Detroit Opera (Multiple T
 imes)
DESCRIPTION:What does 1776 mean to you?\nAs the United States approaches it
 s semiquincentennial\, Detroit Opera invites you to a revolutionary\, 
 immersive operatic experience staged inside the galleries of the Cranbro
 ok Art Museum. Originally conceived by John Cage for the United States Bic
 entennial in 1976\,  Apartment House 1776 places you at the crossroads
  of the nation’s colonial foundations\, imagined as a chorus of voices d
 rifting from apartment windows.\nMove freely through the museum and choose
  your own path. Four singers trace interwoven journeys across a landscape 
 shaped by  Cage’s rearrangements of Revolutionary-era music. Their sto
 ries crisscross\, collide\, and converge\, revealing histories often left 
 unheard.\nBuilt-in pre- and post-show experiences offer insight into Cage
 ’s iconoclastic vision of the United States and invite reflection on our
  shared future. The pre-show will be an orientation and an overview of t
 he piece. Audiences will then choose their own path through the performanc
 e. Stay for post-performance conversations in a spirit of conviviality and
  exchange. Listen\, share\, and consider how the multiplicity of 1776 stil
 l resonates today. No two audience members will have the same experience
 !\nDuration: 90 minutes per timed entry\nTimed Entry: 7:00pm\, 8:00pm\, 9:
 00pm\nNote: This opera experience will require walking and standing. Limit
 ed chairs will be available throughout the experience. If you need wheelc
 hair or other assistance\, please contact the box office.\nImage: Tyree
