Phantom of the Opera

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

Gabriel von Wayditch wrote 14 operas, some telling R-rated stories and one that's the longest in history. But hardly anyone's ever heard of him. Music curator Frank Oteri discovered von Wayditch back in the 1980s and has since been on a lifelong struggle to bring his music to the world. Produced by Sally Herships.
