ÆSOPERA
Tragedy strikes and comedy ensues in five mini-chamber operas based on Aesop’s Fables
Music by Jonathan Price
Libretti by Jeff Goode, Jan Michael Alejandro, and the Composer
Running Time: 1 hour and 22 minutes
SYNOPSIS:
A poor fisherman is granted three wishes, but that may not be enough for two daughters. A lion sacrifices his claws for love. A queen learns the consequence of absolute power misapplied, an inventor tries to outwit fate, and amphibian voters elect themselves a carnivorous queen! Set in mythic Greece, but touched with a modern flair, these lush and lyrical mini-operas bring the timeless stories to vibrant life.
“elegant staging highlights Price’s lush music and the intriguing emotions of its stories”
