Courtney Love, puppets and Korean identity at NY opera fest

Korean-American composer and sound artist Bora Yoon (L) sings as Korean-born Vong Pak plays the drum during a dress rehearsal for the opera "Sunken Cathedral" on January 9, 2015 in New York A dreamy video performance that explores Korean identity and an opera that dramatizes a disabled boy's plight through puppets are premiering in New York as part of the latest Prototype festival. Prototype, launched in 2013 to showcase experimental opera and other new theater, opened Thursday with a star provocatrice -- grunge rock icon Courtney Love. In "Sunken Cathedral," soprano and composer Bora Yoon takes the metaphor to another level, exploring each room of the cathedral as if it were part of the human body.
