                   You are invited to the premiere performance of Act One
                                                           of 
                            “The Tears of Ophélie”
                                 A ‘Bar Opera’ by 
                             Charnie Guettel

A ‘bar opera’ is a constellation of music and dialogue structures
invented by the composer to expand harmonic performance possibilities 
among stage musicians and singers in the jazz idiom:
song studio method,  second melody, chord conscious vocal harmony,
12 part line moving, laminated dialogue, and other devices to free the 
performers from the constraints of conventional orchestration.

On November 21, 2012 in the third floor performance space of
Glad Day Bookshop 598a Yonge St, Toronto ($10 admission) 7:00

            Martin Kuwawi, jazz guitar, 
                              Ted Peters, trombone
                                       and Kevin Cato, alto sax, 
                  join Charnie Guettel for this jazz event
