Kanye West to Stage an Opera at Hollywood Bowl on Sunday

In line with his recent spate of Christian-themed “Sunday Service” performances and his “Jesus Is King” album, Kanye West will present an opera titled “Nebuchadnezzar” at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, Nov. 24, he and the venue announced on social media yesterday. The invitation notes, “Nebuchadnezzar will get directed by Vanessa Beecroft and include music with Sunday Service, Peter Colins & Infinities Song.” The show got scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and appears likely to follow the format of West’s Sunday Services, although the Nebuchadnezzar reference in the title suggests that the performance will have a new twist.

The show will get directed by performance artist Vanessa Beecroft and feature music from West’s Sunday Service choir. The gold-plated invite for the show (designed by Nick Knight) also lists music from Peter Colins & Infinities Song, although it’s possible the latter is a typo for Infinity’s Song, a family band West has supported in recent months.
