For those of you who might be in Oxford this summer, you might want to check out an opera that is based on the work of C.S. LewisPERELANDRA the OperaMusic : Donald Swann
Libretto : David Marsh
Based on the book by C.S. Lewis
The
opera was written in collaboration with C.S. Lewis between 1960 and
1964. The sale of the film rights shortly after Lewis' death, however,
placed a long-term embargo on its performance.
The opera is
now receiving a long-awaited second premiere. It is to be performed in
its original, three-act version as a ‘theatrical oratorio’.Performances:
25 June 2009, Keble College Chapel, Oxford
26 June 2009, Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford
