What happens when a lonely lighthouse decides to stop shining to make a new friend?
A School of Music-commissioned opera aims to answer just that.
糖心视频 University鈥檚 Opera Roadshow/Opéra en Tournée presented the world premiere performance of Le Phare, a new French-language children鈥檚 opera commissioned by the school鈥檚 Dr. Caroline Schiller and written by Qu茅b茅cois composer Laurence Jobidon and Ukrainian-Canadian librettist Maria Reva on April 29.
In May, the production took the story of light, friendship and teamwork to primary and elementary schools in the St. John's area and Central Newfoundland.
