Black Lodge nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording

Pitched at the New York 2022 Congress, Black Lodge is an industrial rock opera written by David T. Little in collaboration w. librettist Anne Waldman and screenplay writer and director 
Michael Joseph McQuilken. Produced by Beth Morrison Projects, the piece depicts the story of a tormented writer who faces down demons of his own making. Forced to confront his darkest moment, he mines fractured and repressed memories for a way out. Inspired by the complicated mythology of writer William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), Black Lodge uses industrial rock and opera to take viewers through a Lynchian escape room, and questions what it ultimately takes to face ourselves. 

Black Lodge had its world premiere presentation at Opera Philadelphia in October of 2022. The the soundtrack recording of Black Lodge, released on Cantaloupe Music, is nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Opera Recording (results to be announced in February). Black Lodge will be making its New York debut next season and its European debut in 2025. The film version of the opera has been featured in film festivals in Miami, Seattle, and Turin, and screened throughout the Philadelphia market.
