Our first opera is Wolfy, a 90 minute opera
written in three short acts, derived from the life of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the most influential composers
in all music history. The subject of Wolfy examines
some of the major events in Mozart’s life, mainly focusing
on the relationships between Wolfgang and his Mother,
his sister, his first love, his wife and his prying mother-in-law.
Wolfy explores the personal and emotional affects
that Mozart had on the women in his life and shows a vulnerable
side of the composer, which offers audiences a more personal
connection with him.
The music in Wolfy is captivating and catchy! Any listener
will quickly find that the melodies and ingenuity with
which the opera is composed envelope the senses and leave
the mind and voice humming with its tunes. Not only is
the opera entertaining and funny, but it offers a deeply
compelling dramatic quality that can only be compared
to the most touching classic operas, musicals and films.
With music by Misha V. Stefanuk and text by Evan Dozier-Stefanuk,
this opera is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for audience
members of all ages and backgrounds.
If
you are not a classical music buff, do not be discouraged
by the classical subject matter. This opera, in English,
will appeal to you for sure! (Want
