Sparks : The Seduction of Ingmar Bergma

Commissioned by Sweden’s national radio broadcaster, ‘The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman’ was a pop opera created by Sparks and released in 2009 as their twenty-second studio album. With a narrative concerning an imaginary trip by Swedish film director Bergman to Hollywood, this impressive collection touches on themes of culture clash between American and European aesthetics.
