Rob Ford, the Opera
NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL
To celebrate the 15th year of the Student Composer Collective, the Faculty of Music presents Rob Ford, the Opera. The concept and libretto is by the Opera Division's Resident Stage Director, Michael Patrick Albano with musical contributions by four of the Faculty's gifted student composers: Massimo Guido, Anna Hostman, Adam Scime and Saman Shahi.
The opera is a surrealist fantasy based loosely upon the personality of Toronto's current and much discussed Mayor. The one-hour opera will be performed by the gamUT ensemble, and features singers from the Opera Division including Andrew Haji as Rob Ford, and Rosanna Murphy as Margaret Atwood. The opera is conducted by Raphael Luz and directed by Erik Thor.
