The Four Note Opera, a self-aware performance

Director of Choirs and Vocal Studies at Sheridan College, Dr. Robert Psurny, made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program to talk about the upcoming performance of The Four Note Opera. 

The opera will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 11, in Kinnison Hall at the Whitney Center for the Arts and is free and open to the public.

The meta style of the opera may be somewhat unfamiliar to typical opera fans. In a sense, the characters are self-aware. 

In an article for Associated Music Publishers Inc, composer of the Four Note Opera, Tom Johnson, wrote, “The opera has quite a different look each time it is mounted, and indeed, the success of The Four Note Opera no doubt has much to do with its flexibility,” Johnson wrote. “Each new cast changes the characters, each new designer changes the look, and the result is always fresh.”
