Join Margi, November 20th, 6pm EST, for the DOC Happy Hour: Librettists in Conversation - streaming LIVE on the Decameron Opera Coalition Facebook page and DOC YouTube channel!
Margi is proud to be one of the wordsmiths behind the ten World Premiere operas that make up the unprecedented streaming event, "Tales from a Safe Distance" sponsored by the Decameron Oper Coalition. Together they'll discuss the process, challenges, and discoveries that went into making an operatic film adaptation of Boccaccio's Decameron.
More about Margi’s creative contribution to "Tales from a Safe Distance" :
Inspired by The Decameron Day 4, Story 5 “Filomena’s Story”
Where is Basil, Rosemary’s boyfriend? He made like a tree and leaved. He made like a banana and peeled. He made like a bush and burned. He made like a pandemic committee meeting and Zoomed. Rosemary is worried their love has gone dormant (was it the lack of spice in their relationship?) but she’s staying planted in her tiny apartment. Her roommates, on the other hand, think Rosemary doesn’t need to cultivate that kind of baggage. Basil was deadwood! Everything Comes to a Head gives us some sage advice: if the roots of love are deep enough, it doesn’t matter if you’re in mint condition.
"Tales" is streaming on-demand until through Dec. 31st at decameronoperacoalition.org
