Michael Minn — Mossadegh: A New Rock Opera

Michael Minn and Ramine Mossadegh (great-grandson)
Mossadegh: A New Rock Opera was performed at the Greenwich Street Theatre as part of the NY Fringe Festival in 2004. You can download the opera in 12 parts here.
Driven by an infectious power-pop score, this 45-minute piece is entirely performed by the members of a four-piece rock band and features a wide variety of characters from this pivotal moment in American foreign policy.
“Rock fans, history buffs, and conspiracy theorists will have to agree that this heavy metal retelling of the 1953 CIA coup that deposed the sitting president of Iran is pretty frickin cool.” —Kyle Ancowitz (NYTheatre.com)
