Hot Fuzz, Tristan, Spring Awakening

Studio 360

This week in Studio 360, we’re in love — painfully in love. It’s Tristan and Isolde, Richard Wagner’s epic-length opera about young passion. Kurt Andersen talks with video artist Bill Viola about a new multimedia production of the work on stage in New York. We’ll also hear from the creators of the new cop caper Hot Fuzz, and groove to the sounds of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, whose 8 horn players are the sons of one legendary Chicago trumpeter.
