DEVIN TOWNSEND Teams With North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra For World-Exclusive And One-Time Performance Of "The Moth"
"... On Thursday, March 27, the lifelong work of visionary musician, composer, and producer Devin Townsend will unfold in De Oosterpoort in Groningen, where he will perform the rock opera The Moth together with the Noord Nederlands Orkest.
This show is exclusive and will only be performed in Groningen; it will not be staged anywhere else in the world.
Townsend is renowned for his groundbreaking fusion of metal, progressive rock, and ambient music. With a career spanning more than 30 years, he has pushed the boundaries of musical genres and collaborated with world-famous orchestras, establishing an unparalleled artistic legacy.
The Moth - An Impressive Rock Opera by Devin Townsend:
For his latest project, he has teamed up with the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra and composed The Moth, a 'rock opera' he has been working on for years, which represents his lifelong ambition. The Moth tells the story of the human experience from birth to death, comparable to the transformation of a caterpillar into a moth. It symbolizes the human quest for meaning and offers perspectives on the fear of death through analogy and narrative. Ever since Townsend witnessed large musicals such as Jesus Christ Superstar and Phantom of The Opera in the 1970s, he has seen this project as his calling.
The Moth has been in the making for over a decade, and Townsend has been building towards it for 30 years. Now, he is ready to bring it to life. He will share the stage at De Oosterpoort in Groningen with no less than seventy musicians from the North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, a sixty-member choir, and his own band, which includes Mike Keneally, Joseph Stephenson, Darby Todd, and James Leach.
