Overview

The story of a virtuoso piano player who lives his entire life aboard an ocean liner. Born and raised on the ship, 1900 learned about the outside world through interactions with passengers, never setting foot on land, even for the love of his life. Years later, the ship may be destroyed, and a former band member fears that 1900 may still be aboard, willing to go down with the ship.

A sweeping, bittersweet meditation on a man who chose artistic transcendence and isolation over the messiness of the world. It's a romantic tragedy told with operatic grandeur and deeply felt emotion.
