We have been in rehearsal all of April and now we are at the exciting part where the orchestra joins us in our preparations. Marie Anne Chiment finished with the costume fittings yesterday and she was joined by Morgan, her assistant and the wig designer, Carissa, who has a multi-colored punk wig for our lead character, Thalia, the Muse of Comedy.

Join us for the modern premiere of an opéra-ballet that broke the mold! This present-day retelling cleverly swaps the original muses’ debate over the qualities of comedy and tragedy for composers, librettists, and choreographers debating which of their art forms garners the best reviews!
