Maestro will appear on stage at City Opera
mainThere’s an ingenious project going down in Vancouver, Canada, where the City Opera is a putting together a show made up of all the operas that Mozart started and never got to finish.
The Lost Operas of Mozart, constructed by artistic director (and Carlos Kleiber biographer) Charles Barber, is such a surefire hit that you wonder why no-one ever thought of doing it before.
Among other cameo roles at the world premiere is one for Vancouver music director, Bramwell Tovey.
Can we take that one more time a little softer, Maestro?
This is somewhat similar to The Jewel Box (1991), that Paul Griffiths assembled for Opera North from unfinished Mozart operas, arias he wrote for other people’s operas, and some of his concert arias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewel_Box
I sang the role of Mozart in that!!! It was 1997 and Paul Griffiths directed in NYC. I wore an electric blue wig.
