The Discontented Housewife An Opera in One Act: Piano Vocal Score

The Discontented Housewife Piano Vocal Score A Comic Opera in One Ridiculously Short Act Music and Libretto by James Nathaniel (Duration: 30') Revised 2024 Edition

Twenty some odd years before the Desperate Housewives phenomenon there was a discontented housewife named Margaret. Synopsis: "This is the interesting story of Margaret." So begins the screwball one-act chamber opera about an emotionally abused housewife, and the extent she goes to change the situation life has dealt her. Not even the pianist is allowed to sit by and idly accompany Margaret's journey into self-empowerment. Is it a battle between the sexes? Certainly not. It's more like power, domination and the pure thrill of ordering others around. Great vehicle for young artists. First premiered at DePauw University, Greencastle Indiana in 1987. Later performed by the New Jersey Concert Opera in 2004.

ARTISTS NEEDED: Soprano (Coloratura), Margaret Lyric Baritone, Harold
ORCHESTRATION: Fl, Bb Clarinet, Horn, Piano, Strings
