Item description from seller

A very scarce early programme of Schmidt and Fallowell's unique fantasy opera, inspired by Mervyn Peake's beloved trilogy. Very scarce. Early edition. In the publisher's original soft covers. Bilingual English and German edition. A lovely programme of the avant-garde fantasy opera inspired by Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. Commissioned by the Wuppertal Opera, the work premiered in the English language in November 1998. Composed by Irmin Schmidt, a founding member of the successful rock band, Can, to the libretto by English writer Duncan Fallowell. In the publisher's original soft covers. Externally, very smart with minor shelf wear, including light creasing and subtle marking. Internally, firmly bound. Very bright and clean. One line has been marked with yellow highlighter to page 3. Very Good Indeed.
