  Industrial Culture: David Byrne Opens Ruhrtriennale in Bochum

 Talking Head David Byrne opened the 2006 season of the Ruhrtriennale with
 a concert in a century-old steel factory in which he was accompanied by
 the Duisberg Philharmonic. Twenty-five thousand people filled 
 Bochum’s Jahrhunderthalle and the square in front of it to hear Byrne and
 the German orchestra weave “sonic tapestries of almost Wagnerian dimensions” 
 out of classics pop hits like “Psycho Killer,” “Road to Nowhere,” .
 Byrne, who is known for the intellectual and avant-garde sensibilities
 he injected into familiar pop formats with the Talking Heads, was featured
 in the Ruhrtriennale’s “Century of Song” series, which explores the history 
 of the pop song. In addition to Talking Heads hits, country duets with opener
 Joe Henry, and songs from his Imelda Marcos musical, the set list included a
 cover of one prominent “Italian songwriter” as well: Byrne and Co. performed
 “Un di felice,” the aria from Verdi’s La Traviata.
