Michael Nyman


NOVEMBER 8, 9, 10, 2013    |    THE NOAH LIFF OPERA CENTER


SYNOPSIS


The mysterious workings of the human brain are as deep and vast as the ocean.  And sometimes, the functioning of the mind can have just as much to say about the condition of the heart.  Composed in 1986 by Michael Nyman (composer of the award-winning score to the Oscar-winning movie "The Piano") and adapted from Dr. Oliver Sachs’ best selling book of the same name, this chamber opera is a sometimes comedic yet extremely poignant story of a man coping with personal adversity by using the power of music to organize and heal his shattered world.


Sung in English.
