tenor10 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Has anyone heard any music from Unsuk Chin's new opera Alice in Wonderland. It looks really cool.

tenor10 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 LOL!!!! I was going to write one too, because i was so suprised it had never been done, but I have a better story to work off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlioz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 You better have, or I'll chop your head off and give it to the crows!!! :) It's MINE!!!! I am the one having all the work, reading The Annotated Alice (of both books) to make a set of two operas (one on each book), and trying to understand plenty of the symbolisms to give them the right tone and energy!

jymothias Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I heard that Ligeti was going to write an Alice in Wonderland opera, too, but now he's dead :) so there's one less rival to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well, ironically enough I had begun work on setting several of Lewis Carrol's works to music. The first one I was going to do was Alice in Wonderland. Not an opera (that'd be too mean. I want Berlioz to do it first so I can steal all the nice melodies) but more like narrated music.
