Re: Ca Ira
Does anyone have any information as to where and when Roger's opera will be performed or recordings available ?

Seems to have been planned for ages (like the new album and DVD !)

Re: Ca Ira
Last I heard he wasn't even done composing it, let alone having it produced or performed anywhere, though he did say it was an off again on again projevt, so it may never be done.

Waters Opera: Ca Ira - "Nearly Finished"

Feb. 08, 2000

Roger Waters has recently stated that his classical opera based on the French Revolution, which has consumed him for the past 10 years, is nearly finished and will be releashed on the Sony Classics label.

Waters has stated,"A friend of mine in France, Etienne Roda-Gil, wrote a libretto in 1988, and asked me if I would set it to music. It was a different challenge, so I thought, why not? It's kind of a philosophical and hisotrical overview of the French Revolution. It's very difficult to describe, because it's kind of surreal as well."


Far out.

Re: Ca Ira
Thanks, I had seen that piece. My understanding is that although it's an opera it should be recognisable to "the fans" as a Roger Waters work.

Really, though that's not funny. Making fun of Roger Waters--you must not be a TRUE fan.

Re: Ca Ira
Heh...take a look at NNJ's "opening line"...then put it to the tune of Free Four. Kinda puts a whole new spin on it. Maybe not.
