Loyola University New Orleans will host a free performance of “The Diary of One Who Vanished,” 60 years after the last production of this play in New Orleans.
This will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 13, in the Roussel Performance Hall on Loyola’s campus. It is open to the public.
This opera will be performed in Czech by Loyola voice faculty and alumni and the Loyola Chamber Singers. During the performance, photographs by Steven Blackmon will be projected.
“The Diary of One Who Vanished” was written by Leos Janacek in 1919. It was inspired by his long-time love Kamilia Stosslova, to whom he wrote more than 700 letters.
Janacek’s “On the Overgrown Path” will also be performed, featuring Brian Hsu, assistant professor of piano.
