Diamanda Galas: Concert For The Damned

Mike Barnes, The Wire, 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 she’s also conceived an experimental radio piece on extreme sexual terror.

Total word count of piece: 431
