The G Note Story

Chamber opera in two acts

This is the story of the G note that embarks on a large journey in order to change its dull life. On its way it meets a whole new world full of a variety of colorful characters, and the inevitable conflict

between the notion of the theatre stage as the realm of imagination, and the notion that the world is a stage. This encounter leads it to self consciousness and towards quite a different ending…
