Information
An opera in one act, Usher House is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher.
“Poe’s inter-grown house and family of Usher are artworks of morbidity and malaise worthy of the spectacular climax he devised for them. He has preferred to make mood everything, saving almost all dialogue and explicit action for the closing scene.” – Gordon Getty
