Description
Maestro Bramwell Tovey's recently-premiered spectacular opera The Inventor opened at the Calgary Opera in January 2011 to critical acclaim. John Murrell's libretto tells the tragic story of Alexander ("Sandy") Keith Jr., nephew of the famous brewmaster, with Tovey's spectacular, dramatic score. The VSO presents the concert version of this new opera, featuring the original cast and, of course, Maestro Tovey conducting.
