The world premiere recording of his new opera, *Alice’s Adventures Underground*, was performed by the Irish National Opera—making its debut on Signum Classics. The opera combines Lewis Carroll’s classic fairy tale *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland* with its sequel, *Through the Looking-Glass*. The libretto was also written by the composer, Gerald Barry. The music is uniquely Barry’s own; although it is a short, one-act opera, it is crafted to captivate the audience at various points—for example, by incorporating a partial quotation from Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy.”\nIn this production, with the exception of Alice, each singer plays multiple roles. While it had its world premiere in concert form in 2016 and its world stage premiere in 2020, approximately half of the singers featured in this recording are the same as those from those performances.\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Signum Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595649540385,"sku":"635212069523","price":3490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/635212069523.jpg?v=1790482119","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/635212069523","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
