A GESAMTKUNSTWERK @ The Canadian Opera Company


"A gesamtkunstwerk  (often translated as universal artwork, synthesis of the arts, comprehensive artwork, all-embracing art form, total work of art, or total artwork): is a work of art that uses all art forms or strives to do so."


...I'm paraphrasing here from Wikipedia............................

On Saturday night I witnessed this term first hand...I was at the performance of Robert Lepage's new opera The Nightingale and Other Short Fables....a smart, spectacular staging, it simply blew my mind...
Lepage brought every art from together to create a wonderful sensory experience...you felt you were a witness to something very special-check out the COC's website at:
