Diamanda Galas: Concert For The Damned
Mike Barnes, Wire, The, July 1998
DIAMANDA GALAS has various modes of presentation, none of them easy. She has staged her AIDS trilogy as a multivoiced one-woman opera; she's sung her PLAGUE MASS in houses of the very same Lord she has elsewhere cajoled, pleaded with, and vilified; and shes also conceived an experimental radio piece on extreme sexual terror.
Total word count of piece: 431
