Making Music

We're listening to Geoff Smith's latest music. Beachtree, You are a lion and They took my things. The music is sweet and quirky and the lyrics are strangely enticing. They are on my playlist and they seem to stay there.

We are also revisting some of the grand old operas. Seems as we work more on La Barba it brings up the classics. Rigoletto, up until now, has been the greatest story of deception and betrayal. It's hard to believe that any thing written since could come close to the level of duplcity that Rigoletto presents. but La Barba does that with relentless passion and at the same time an attention to detail that leaves the listener breathless. Visit our website, How to Build an Alternative Universe (on the gate way page http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeeal5f/howtobuildanalternativeuniverse/http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeeal5f/howtobuildanalternativeuniverse/ ) for background on Lena and her tortorous struggles for gender identity and a decent aria or two.1:41 am est

Now that Jim is leaving us we'll have to postpone rehearsals. But La Barba will be back. Sorry.

La Barba an Opera

The cast is coming together nicely for us to begin production on La Barba. Jim Calandrillo will direct, Geoff Smith is music director, Malcolm Cumming and Fionna Lafferty have been cast in the leading roles.

Here's Musical Director Geoff with a member of the orchestra.
