Ophelia: An Opera In BlueOphelia: An Opera In Blue
Synopsis:
Taking as a libretto four scenes featuring OPHeLIa in Shakespeare´s "HaMLeT", sung in the english original, it brings to life family conflicts, the clash between the absurd and the "normal" and the passion of unrequited and rejected love that run through everyday existence, be it elsinore or anywhere else in the world.
Notes:
"Those who believe that musical belongs to the Americans or the British, must revise their opinion: Ophelia comes from the USSR And beats the Western commercial products A la Lloyd Webber by miles. . .the work stands on its own, is original, even fascinating. . .the dream of American composer Leonard Bernstein of An opera on the basis of A musical is realised: by Sergei Dreznin, A Soviet composer." ?Wiener Zeitung, Vienna
