This is a comic opera in two acts by British-Russian composer Elena Langer, based on Nikolai Erdman's banned 1928 play *The Suicide*, about a man who intends to broadcast his suicide live on television—until he changes his mind. A darkly funny black farce, it satirizes society's obsession with fame and the exploitation of others' misery for profit and entertainment.
