Gerald Barrys new opera is based on Lewis Carrolls two beloved books, Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. As with Barrys last opera, the lauded The Importance of Being Earnest, the composer has created the libretto himself from the authors original texts. Thus, the work remains faithful to many aspects of the Alice story but is trimmed and compressed into acompact 70-minute opera in one act. Barrys characteristic highspeed energy and riotous sense of humour propel the action forward inthis surreal plunge into the depths of Wonderland.
