A Little Nightmare Music: The Full Opera is a new and exciting opera that is sure to please audiences of all ages.

The Full Opera

Few know the origins of the little nightmare music. It is said to come from a small girl, no older than seven, who loved to play the piano. Every night, she would retire to her room and play for hours on end. One night, she began to play a new song.

The Opening Night

It is the opening night of the full opera, and the audience is eagerly waiting for the show to begin. The curtains slowly open, revealing a grand stage with a large orchestra pit. The music starts playing, and the singers come out onto the stage. The first act begins, and the audience is completely enchanted by the music, singing, and acting. They clap and cheer after every song. By the end of the first act, they are already on their feet, clapping and cheering for more.

The second act starts, and it is even better than the first. The singing is beautiful, the music is moving, and the acting is superb. The audience is captivated by every moment. They give a standing ovation at the end of the second act, and they are already clamoring for more.

The third act begins, and it is clear that this is the best act yet. The music is perfection, the singing is flawless, and the acting is mesmerizing. The audience is absolutely enthralled. They give a standing ovation at the end of the third act, and they are begging for more.

The fourth act begins, and it is even better than the previous three acts combined. The music is exhilarating, the singing is breathtaking, and the acting is electrifying. The audience is on their feet from beginning to end, cheering and clapping for more.

When it is all over, the audience gives a final standing ovation. They are truly moved by what they have seen and heard. They have been taken on an amazing journey through music, song, and dance, and they will never forget it.

The First Act

The Full Opera is the title of the first act of Little Nightmare Music, a five-part composition for orchestra, voice, and electronics by American composer Mason Bates. It was premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in May 2012 under the direction of Maestro Riccardo Muti.

The work opens with a quote from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” This is spoken by a child (played by an adult in the premiere) and is immediately followed by the orchestra playing a highly energetic and disorienting series of descending scales.

The Second Act

The second act of the opera opens with a funeral march. A man is being buried, and his wife and children are left behind. They are all grieving, but they must continue on with their lives. The next scene is a happy one, as a young couple is getting married. However, the happiness is short-lived, as the groom is called away to go to war. The bride is left behind, wondering if she will ever see her husband again.

The third scene changes the mood completely, as it is now nighttime and everything is dark and eerie. There is a storm brewing and it seems to be getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a ship appears out of the darkness, filled with refugees from a war-torn land. They are looking for a place to stay, but they are not welcome here. The townspeople are afraid of them and don’t want them around.

The fourth scene brings us back to the wedding couple from before. The groom has finally returned from war, but he is not the same man that he was when he left. He has been changed by what he has seen and done, and his bride does not recognize him anymore. She turns away from him in disgust and leaves him alone in the dark.

The fifth and final scene takes place in a graveyard. It is midnight and everything is still and silent. Suddenly, ghosts begin to appear, coming back to haunt those who have wronged them in life. They seek revenge on those who have hurt them, and they will not rest until they have gotten it. This act ends with the ghost of the man who was buried at the beginning of the act appearing to his wife and children. He tells them that he cannot rest in peace until they have avenged his death

The Third Act

The Third Act begins with a scene in a graveyard, where Fortunio’s body has been brought. His wife, Lucio, is grief-stricken. Franc’s mother arrives and tells Lucio that her son is responsible for Fortunio’s death. Lucio is shocked and tells Franc’s mother that she is mistaken, but she will not listen to reason.

The next scene takes place in a court of law. Franc is on trial for murder. Lucio testifies against him, and Franc is found guilty. He is sentenced to death by hanging.

The fourth and final scene takes place on the night of Franc’s execution. Lucio has come to visit him in his cell. Franc asks Lucio to forgive him for his crime, and Lucio does so. The two men say goodbye to each other, and Franc is led away to his death.

The Reviews

A Little Nightmare Music: The Full Opera is an album that is a bit different from what I usually listen to, but I found it oddly enjoyable. The music is very unique and the opera itself is very well done. I would definitely recommend this album to fans of classical music and opera.

The Critics

The Critics is the first part of A Little Nightmare Music, an unfinished opera by Benjamin Britten.

It was written in 1974, the year before his death, and is based on a story by Britten’s partner, Peter Pears. The opera tells the story of a group of music critics who are invited to review an opera, but their opinions quickly turn nightmarish.

Britten left the opera unfinished at his death, and it was not completed until 1976 by his assistant, Colin Matthews. The Critics was first performed in 1977, but has never been staged as a complete opera.

The Aftermath

The music stopped. There was a long, eerie silence. I couldn’t hear anything except for the sound of my own heartbeat. I slowly looked around the room, taking in the devastation. The once beautiful opera house was now in ruins.

The Opera House

The Aftermath is an opera in three acts composed by Eric Whitacre with a libretto by David Calder.

As Francis gets deeper into Caligari’s world, he begins to lose touch with reality, and he soon realizes that he may never be able to escape…
