Gerard von Brucken Fock: Jozal (Opera o/t Month)

Gerard von Brucken Fock was one of the most remarkable composers that ever graced the Netherlands. He is best known for his wonderful piano music and his songs, but his true master piece is the unperformed opera Jozal from 1912. It is both unique and extreme in text and music, it is a mesmerizing, bewildering and highly individual opera.

Location: Old Church, Keizerstraat 8, Scheveningen, Netherlands.
