Freshwater (opera)

Freshwater (opera)

"Freshwater" is a two-act chamber opera composed by Andy Vores, based on the 1929 comic play by Virginia Woolf. Vores received assistance in creating the opera from Quentin Bell, Woolf's nephew and executor, who provided a rarely-seen earlier version of the text that served as the inspiration for several passages of the libretto.
