Courtney Love's Opera Gets Boston Dates

Former Hole frontwoman Courtney Love tried her hand at opera earlier this year, starring in Kansas City Choir Boy for a brief run in New York City. Now, it was announced today (July 21) that Love will reprise the role for a run in Boston from Oct. 1-10.

Love is no stranger to acting: She has a guest role in FOX's Empire, and very well could have played Harley Quinn had a '90s Batman movie not been cancelled. As for her desire to do to opera, she said earlier this year that it came out of boredom:

I was on tour in Australia, and it was namby-pamby, like House of Blues 2,500-seaters. That's where we're at — literally, the oldies circuit. I'm in the middle of [Hole's] "Doll Parts" thinking, "Are we done yet?" I wanted to do something different and this is great. I didn't write any of it, which is new for me -- to let go.

Tickets for the new run of Kansas City Choir Boy are on sale now here.
