The Canadian Opera Company does a rehearsed reading of one scene from the opera I am developing with Colleen Murphy and Tapestry New Opera. This is the same scene that was workshopped in Banff in August 2009. This scene includes several of the principal roles, the chorus, full orchestra, and an electronic component.
A long-term project of mine is moving forward this year. Tapestry New Opera applied for and received funding from Opera.ca to produce the first act of the opera I have been developing with librettist, Colleen Murphy. We’ll be involved in roundtable discussions on the opera in Toronto this spring, and I will be composing the music for one act of the opera, to be workshopped at the Banff Centre in August of this year. The act will then be fully produced in the first part of 2010. More details to follow as they become available.
This is the first work I did with Colleen Murphy, while we were participating in Tapestry’s LibLab in August 2005. The story is about a man who has had an accident, and his unfaithful wife/girlfriend who accidentally reveals her infidelity as she tries to comfort him.
