Les Aventures de Madame Merveille

[lightcastle]

As some of you know, my sister wrote the libretto for an opera. It's an original comic book opera Les Aventures de Madame Merveille and it was commissioned by the ECM+ in Montreal and debuts May 6th and 7th.
If you're local or going to be local, you should come!



From her description of the piece:

This opera is a multi-media 3 dimensional comic book experience! In four movements of different "comic books" follow the adventures of a superheroine: Madame Merveille! The romance of a woman Katherine torn between two lovers! The adventure of a boy, Francois, and his dog Pax as they try to solve the mystery of a jewel thief! And the epic sci fi battle between The Malos and Gatos!
