^ Yeah, a musical might be a cute idea, but a big ol' opera? It makes me raise one eyebrow and stroke my mustache in thought.

The book on which the opera will be based is sold as "a fictionalized biography of Walt Disney during his final months." So, a lot of the content is not necessarily true.

As for opera, I was exposed to a bit of it at Choir Camp, and I can say that I have a better appreciation of opera than I used to have. I can see potential in this.

So... it's going to be an opera about stuff that probably isn't true about Walt. I'm not saying the man was a saint, but a big tragic opera about his final months is... not cool.

Or it might be cool.

I'm still liking the idea of a musical. Or even a biopic told through flashbacks.

I really don't know how this will turn out. Maybe a musical will be a better success than an opera. I just don't see myself every seeing it.

I am composing and preforming an opera for my school and this to me sounds....interesting. I'm not sure what this will turn out to be...it just depends on which direction they take it.

Default City Opera cancels Disney project

City Opera cancels Disney project


Disney opera scrapped
City Opera projects shelved after a.d. resigns

Variety
A developing opera based on the life of Walt Disney are suddenly homeless with the departure from City Opera of a.d. and general manager Gerard Mortier. Mortier was appointed to the dual posts in early 2007, and his first season of programming was skedded for the 2009-10 season. That slate, ambitiously designed to shake things up for the company, has been scrapped.

Mortier, formerly the director of the Salzburg Festival in Austria, ankled after several months of speculation about his imminent departure. He reportedly quit over budgetary constraints that would not allow him to achieve his programming goals.
