Program Notes
Raoul’s Rescue Mission; an opera for 4 singers and orchestra.
Raoul’s Rescue Mission; the Opera
Follow little mouse Raoul on his adventure in which he’s trying to save his baby sister from one of the most dangerous cats of the neighborhood.
In “Raoul’s Rescue Mission”; the Opera, the main character, a little mouse named Raoul, is forced to go on a mission to rescue his baby sister out of the claws of the mean neighborhood cat, Tomcat.
The opera is to be performed by four singers. Tenor 2 and baritone are doubling roles as shown below and could for example change masks to make clear which character they are playing at any given time. BabySis’ (represented by a doll) 2-bar part, is sung off-stage by the soprano.
Because this work has not been performed yet, you will hear a digital recorded orchestra and voices.
