Opera

John Andrew works often with opera. Opera may be the theater of history. It may also be over the top.

John Andrew has completed 4 operas, most recently "Kunngjøringer fra Pariserkommunen" for The Norwegian National Opera, with premier at Ultima 2022. Excerpts of this work have been shown at Brecht Tage 2021. For these works John Andrew often collaborates with playwright Finn Iunker and Bernhard Bornstein.

Extra-musical, extra-human

John Andrew does a lot of work with fish. It's kinda goofy, but also there's a lot of things to be learned about how we relate to animals.
