It is the first example of an electroacoustic OPERA in history.
Something completely innovative and revolutionary that we are sure our audience will appreciate and listen to with the utmost attention. Cover Art-Work by the Mario Coppola.
Le Purgatoire by Gerard Pape is a work of genius. It reinvents opera by expanding the vocabulary of sprechtsinge and free of the tension-release mind control of neoclassical convention. This electro-acoustic sound world is a bridge to Dante for us, a worm-hole from pre-raphael to modern. Dante, the first psychiatrist, pathos and bathos.
