Music: Ed Lambert
Words: Norman Welch, Walter Hall, Verbatim
A satirical dive into the espousal of apocalyptic prophesies in the U.S.A. and their chilling influence on the current situation in Gaza.
Believers To Be Raptured To Heaven As The End Times Approach!
- The Second Coming of Donald Trump hastens the destruction of Palestine: FAKE NEWS, obviously!
- The Pastor predicts the End Times while the Knights prepare their swords - and tune their motorbikes - for the Last Battle: TRUE - it's happening in America!
- Eve is in Paradise but rejects her God-given mate: it's also TRUE - and we'll prove it!
These are just some of the themes of this anarchic little opera. They say it's the most incredible opera ever… hey! an entertaining and angry satire on the political and religious fundamentalism of Christian Zionists who believe in Armageddon, it's not for the faint-hearted. A cast of four superb singers compete with a lot of noise in this year's offering from The Music Troupe.
