Kanye West To Present ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ Opera At The Hollywood Bowl

Kanye West is set to present a new opera, “Nebuchadnezzar,” named after the ancient Babylonian king, on November 24 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

The show will be directed by performance artist Vanessa Beecroft and feature music from West’s Sunday Service choir, Peter Collins and Infinity’s Song.

The Hollywood Bowl confirmed the “Nebuchadnezzar” opera and said tickets are on sale now.

During an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music‘s Beats 1, West mentioned the “Nebuchadnezzar” opera.

“[God] is saying, Let me take this Nebuchadnezzar-type character—Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, and he looked at his entire kingdom and said, I did this,” West said, adding, “I stood on the top of the mountain talking about Yeezus, saying, ‘I’m a God’—I had a guy dressed as Jesus.”
