Product Description

A short chamber opera
Libretto by Royce Vavrek, based on the short story by Sheila Heti.

Mermaid in the Jar is the first short chamber opera in the Wild Beast of the Bungalow triptych (Mermaid in the Jar, Prairie Dogs, and Fine and Dandy), which takes place entirely within an eleven-year-old Girls bedroom as she overhears her parents volatile conversations. Over the course of a few days, a mermaid, a family of stuffed prairie dogs, and singing groups of chickenpox and shingles force her to confront what it means to care for others and be cared for herself.

CAST: coloratura soprano, mezzo-soprano, bass-baritone, and three additional treble voices. (If the Prologue is omitted, no bass-baritone is required.)

INSTRUMENTATION: 1.0.1 (doubling BCl.).1.bar.sax/0.0.1.0/pft-perc (1)-harp-1.0.0.1.1 (Parts need to be rented separately.)
DURATION: 20 minutes

PAGES: 86
