Love Songs (Ana Sokolović), premiered in March 2008 by The Queen of Puddings Music Theatre, is an intimate story about love in all its many different forms: pure love, tender love, the love of a child for a parent, mature love, love for a person who has been lost... The lyrics are sung in English, French, Serbian, Irish and Latin, with interludes between the movements in which the phrase “I love you” is delivered in 100 different languages.
Explore Love Songs and other exciting pieces on the Canadian Opera Resource, and get your tickets to Tapestry's new production of Love Songs March 26-29 at the Nancy & Ed Jackman Performance Centre!
