Craigs Progress (Suite)
composition
posted on 2023-06-08, 00:40 authored by Martin ButlerCraig's Progress was commissioned by Mecklenburgh Opera. It was conceived as a modern-day opera buffa. Subtitled An Operatic Adventure Story, and with a libretto by Stephen Pruslin, the opera follows Craig's journey from naivety to wisdom, from comic-book character to real person. Five singers perform 49 roles as diverse as reindeer, bartenders, Gods, and planets, as well as an Ice Cream Vendor, a Gingerbread Witch, The Fiery Stoker, and many other characters. The combination of operatic and comic-book styles makes this fantasy-world both accessible and humourous. Craig's Progress, was first performed in June 1994 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
