Darwin As An Opera

Swedish rock group The Knife, who's Heartbeats was repopularized by Jose Gonzalez, has recently gone is a wholly new direction.  They've been commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin's On the Origin of the Species.  In collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, they will release the studio version of the opera entitled Tomorrow, In A Year, on March 1, 2010.  A streaming version of "Colouring Of Pigeons" can be heard here.
