Eastman Opera Theatre Presents: Click!

Eastman alum Steve Bramson ’83E (MM), an Emmy Award-winning composer of hundreds of primetime television episodes and numerous feature films, teamed up with librettist Gayle Hudson to tell the story of Hungarian photographer André Kertész. CLICK! is a new opera based on the life and legacy of Kertész and his wife, Elizabeth, and it will make its world premiere at the Eastman School of Music this fall. Set across the cities they called home—Budapest, Paris, and New York—this story explores emigration, artistic identity, and love’s enduring force through the shifting political and socioeconomic tides of the twentieth century. With a score that invokes Phillip Glass and Stephen Sondheim, CLICK! features a cast of three singers and one spoken role.
