[…] This particular opera is everything that life is: jubilation, despair, denial, hope, regret, loss, sacrifice, courage.” Of course, this is grand opera, so there is no happy ending. TDO’s finale left audience members weeping – some of us more than others – even though we knew what was coming. ****************** Geoffrey Sullivan Isaacs If you go to “Butterfly,” try to catch Geoffrey Sullivan Isaacs’ pre-opera talk, given one hour prior to the performance in Hamon Hall.

This programme is therefore an investigation of the original power of music generated by the 'primal breath', which can lead to trance, to meditation, or to jubilation; and since this is, above all, a very personal album, based on my need to breathe, on the universal quest for the moment, and on a highly emotional relationship to the pieces that make it up, I have gathered round me a group of instrumentalists who are my closest friends and partners.That is virtuoso flautist Pierre Hamon in the photo above, and the quote comes from his notes for the 2009 album Hypnos.
