The programme explores supernatural motifs and also the concept of melodrama not only as a stage genre, but also in terms of its influence on opera and early silent film, examining the broader idea of the relationship between sound and image, spoken text and music. On the Edge is a boldly innovative, cross-genre project bringing together elements of music, theatre and video. The story, set in the Swiss Jungfrau region, takes as its starting point the memoirs of Sir Arnold Lunn, the inventor of the slalom, and his recollection of his wifes near-fatal accident while climbing the Jungfrau. The scenario also weaves in the terrifying booming sounds that herald an avalanche, a light-hearted philosophical discussion of the purpose of sport and a Swiss folktale. The 35-minute piece alternates music and narration to create a work which, in the composers own words, will be ‘colourful, strange, multilayered and slightly absurd’.

Written as the middle act of his Il Trittico, Suor Angelica was Puccini's personal favourite of the three. Set in a convent in the latter part of the 17th Century, it tells the story of Sister Angelica who was sent from her family in disgrace some years earlier. The opera begins with the day-to-day life of the nuns, interrupted by the arrival of The Princess, Sister Angelica's Aunt. The Princess has come to inform Sister Angelica that her sister is to be married and that she must renounce her claim to the family inheritance. Sister Anglica asks after her son, only to be told he is dead. Overcome with grief, Sister Angelica kills herself; the opera ends with a vision of her son appearing before her surrounded by light. The cast of 14 sopranos and altos is made up from the very best young singers from the Cambridge Chapel Choirs and London Conservatories, and the production team is highly experienced. Auditions: 16th and 17th October, 8-10.30pm, West Road Music Faculty This is an all female cast, so we are looking for sopranos and altos. Please prepare a short piece or extract written after 1800. For more information or to book a ten minute slot for your audition, please send a short CV detailing your musical experience to Isabella Gage (iag25@cam.ac.uk). iag25 on "Magdalene Chapel Choir - Singers Wanted!" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/169#post-178 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:43:55 +0000 iag25 178@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ If you enjoy singing and would like to join a Choir, Magdalene Choir is looking for 2 TENORS and 1 BASS.
