This weekend, don’t miss the West Coast premiere of “Schoenberg in Hollywood,” presented by The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience. In a recent conversation, Tod Machover, the pioneering theatermaker behind this production, shared insights into his musical journey, how it brought him to Schoenberg and, eventually, to Hollywood. The production bears Machover’s unmistakable stamp as a composer, blending film and opera, electronic and acoustic music, flowing melodies and gnarly textures. Machover, the Muriel R. Cooper Professor of Music and Media at the MIT Media Lab where he is also director of the Opera of the Future group, is renowned for his pioneering integration of music and technology. “Schoenberg in Hollywood” tells Schoenberg’s life story and explores worlds colliding — Old World and New, high art and mass entertainment, traditional and experimental.
