Andrew Downes' Children's Opera, Odysseus & the Cyclops
Made during the Covid-19 Lockdown of 2020. Andrew Downes is singing the role of the Cyclops himself. I am singing the part of the Elders and in the general choir, and I am acting the part of the Cyclops and the Elders. My daughters are singing and acting the roles of Odysseus and his Men, and the Islanders and Soldiers. We made the costumes and scenery ourselves. Find out more on my music education site. More info on this work.
