The Royal Singer
for 8 Voices, 2 Flutes, Percussion, Piano & String Quartet

Details:

A participatory opera for children. Professor Song – eager for her child Bo to be chosen as the new Royal Singer – coaches five flawed singer-contestants, hoping to encourage Bo to enter the competition.  Instead, Bo discovers the pleasure of being part of a chorus of friends.  The penultimate scene is to be created and performed by a group of local children, in partnership with the adults.

Libretto: Nathalie Anderson.
