Fra omslaget: "Richard Foreman is one of the great geniuses of modern theater, and his dynamic staging of John Zorn's opera Astronome was one of his greatest works. Premiering in february of 2009 at his Ontological-Hysteric Theater in East Village, it continued its sold out run for months. Drawing upon alchemical and mystical imagery, the visual world Foreman created was sumptuous provocative and mysterious. For this DVD, ten performances were captured on film from hundred of angles and brilliantly edited by filmmaker Henry Hills. Astronome is a revolution in opera/music-theater."
