In Rome\, he worked alongside some of the most important musicians of the time and it was there that the young composer wrote some of his most dramatic\, virtuosic and exciting works. This exceptional concert features internationally-acclaimed soprano Amanda Forsythe with Pacific MusicWorks Orchestra under the direction of Stephen Stubbs.” (Promo Copy) URL:https://seattleoperaguild.org/calendar/roman-holiday/ CATEGORIES:Opera Event in the Region END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180512T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180512T193000 DTSTAMP:20260503T101919 CREATED:20171205T202904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171205T202904Z UID:594-1526153400-1526153400@seattleoperaguild.org SUMMARY:The Overcoat – a musical tailoring DESCRIPTION:Vancouver Opera at Queen Elizabeth Theatre\, Vancouver\, BC \nA much anticipated co-production with Toronto’s Canadian Stage Company and Tapestry Opera\, The Overcoat – a musical tailoring is an operatic reinterpretation Morris Panych and Wendy Gorling’s 1998 smash-hit play\, The Overcoat.

Morris Panych is the director\, with choreography by Wendy Gorling\, set design by Ken MacDonald. costume design by Nancy Bryant\, and lighting design by Alan Brodie. \nThis extremely important work\, addresses the universal human need for compassion and our unfortunate tendency to deny it. The Overcoat – a musical tailoring is so much more than the story of an office worker whose life is turned upside down when he’s robbed of his new overcoat. “Panych and Gorling… have delivered a work that grows richer on each subsequent viewing\, a creation that combines laughter with pathos and exhilaration with despair.” – Toronto Star (on 2007’s The Overcoat).

With a libretto from Morris Panych and music composed by Canadian Composer\, James Rolfe\, this production reunites the original creative team. Morris Panych is the director\, with choreography by Wendy Gorling\, set design by Ken MacDonald. costume design by Nancy Bryant\, and lighting design by Alan Brodie. \nThis extremely important work\, addresses the universal human need for compassion and our unfortunate tendency to deny it. The Overcoat – a musical tailoring is so much more than the story of an office worker whose life is turned upside down when he’s robbed of his new overcoat. “Panych and Gorling… have delivered a work that grows richer on each subsequent viewing\, a creation that combines laughter with pathos and exhilaration with despair.” – Toronto Star (on 2007’s The Overcoat). The work will debut at the Bluma Appel Theatre in March 2017 before coming to the Vancouver Playhouse—where the original creation premiered 20 years ago.
