Tapestry presents workshop performances of the 2nd act of my opera in development, The Enslavement and Liberation of Oksana G.

June 11 & 12, 2012

From the Tapestry website:

“Sung in Ukrainian, Russian and English, this opera vérité with prologue and epilogue uses non-operatic music from various cultures to enhance the composed score and drama. The tragic ménage à trois is a topic as ancient as Greek drama, but in Oksana G. it takes on a life as immediate as today’s headlines, yet honours the ingredients common to all great operas: universality, timelessness and high emotion.”

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.
