Kanye West’s Nebuchadnezzar Opera Debuts at the Hollywood Bowl

Tonight was the debut of Kanye West’s new opera called Nebuchadnezzar. It apparently starred rapper Sheck Wes, with Kanye in the background narrating the production.

According to Pitchfork, the performance was directed by Vanessa Beecroft, who has worked with West in the past. The hook from “Wolves” was embedded within the performance, as well as “Say You Will,” “Our King” and “Wash Us In The Blood.”
