SUMMARY:Apartment House 1776 – Presented by the Detroit Opera (Multiple T
 imes)
DESCRIPTION:What does 1776 mean to you?\n\nAs the United States approaches 
 its semiquincentennial\, Detroit Opera invites you to a revolutionary\
 , immersive operatic experience staged inside the galleries of the Cranb
 rook Art Museum. Originally conceived by John Cage for the U.S. Bicentenni
 al in 1976\,  Apartment House 1776 places you at the crossroads of the
  nation’s colonial foundations\, imagined as a chorus of voices drifting
  from apartment windows.\n\nMove freely through the museum and choose your
  own path. Four singers trace interwoven journeys across a landscape shape
 d by  Cage’s rearrangements of Revolutionary-era music. Their stories 
 crisscross\, collide\, and converge\, revealing histories often left unhea
 rd.\n\nBuilt-in pre- and post-show experiences offer insight into Cage’s
  iconoclastic vision of the United States and invite reflection on our sha
 red future. The pre-show will be an orientation and an overview of the p
 iece. Audiences will then choose their own path through the performance. S
 tay for post-performance conversations in a spirit of conviviality and exc
 hange. Listen\, share\, and consider how the multiplicity of 1776 still re
 sonates today. No two audience members will have the same experience!\n\
 nDuration: 90 minutes per timed entry\n\nTimed Entry: 7:00pm\, 8:00pm\, 9:
 00pm\n\nNote: This opera experience will require walking and standing. Lim
 ited chairs will be available throughout the experience. If you need whee
 lchair or other assistance\, please contact the box office.\n\nImage: Ty
