A shipwrecked Greek king just wants to go home, but the gods, a one-eyed monster, a witch, and a trio of singing rocks keep getting in the way. NOBODY sets Homer's Odyssey as a comic opera where grand bel canto collides with a sprinting big band and a wall of percussion — booming buffo villains, a smoky torch-song sorceress, and one very tired tenor. He wanted a chair, a dog, and his wife.
NOBODY
Style
Grand Italian bel canto opera crossed with frantic big-band jazz over a huge percussion battery, spanning rubato recitative near 70 BPM through arias around 110 to jazz assaults up to 260 BPM, with an operatic tenor lead, a booming basso profondo villain, a smoky mezzo witch and a close-harmony swing vocal trio of sirens.
