On June 18, the work of Austrian composer Johanna Doderer will be featured at the Austrian Embassy in concert by violinist Édua Zádory and the Momenta Quartet (New York). Johanna Doderer´s (born 1969 in Bregenz, Austria) current work ranges from chamber music to orchestral work to opera. In the near future, she envisages concentrating her work on the field of opera. Her next opera will have the title A kind of Yellow and is dealing with Ira Hayes an almost mythological figure of the American history.

Ira hayes! That should be a fascinating treatment. The picture accompanying your post speaks volumes about the psychology of the man.
Thanks John. I agree about the photo. And yes, an Ira Hayes opera is an idea whose time has come. Let's hope that it is a powerful, beautiful, and successful contemporary opera.
