Publisher's Synopsis
Music from 1804. Action set in 1988. A new opera (in English) A Roadkill Opera tells the story of the hour before the lights go up on opening night for a comedy improv troupe in Jackson Hole, Wyoming-the Roadkill On A Stick Frozen Foods Theatre Company. Based (loosely) on a true story from a fast-developing tourist town, the original English libretto by Parker is set to music by Ferdinando Paer (Napoleon's maître de chapelle). If you read music and want to follow along with the show live or recorded; if you want to play the show for your own amusement; if you want to get a present for the music lover who has everything, you can be sure they do not have this: every note for the wind instruments is included.
