Music from 1804. Action set in 1988. A new opera (in English) A Roadkill Opera tells the story of the hour before the lights go up on opening night for a comedy improv troupe in Jackson Hole, Wyoming-the Roadkill On A Stick Frozen Foods Theatre Company. Based (loosely) on a true story from a fast-developing tourist town, this original English libretto by Parker is set to music by Ferdinando Paer (Napoleon's maitre de chapelle). If you want to follow along with the show live or recorded; if you want to sing the show for your own amusement; if you want to get a present for the music lover who has everything, you can be sure they do not have this: every word for the singers, in large print in an 8.5 x 11 inch book.
