Sheet Music: ScoreDracula : opera in three acts, Vocal Score / David Stanhope.by David Stanhope (2009)
|
Product details
Dracula, an opera in 3 acts, is a serious treatment of the essential scenes from the original Bram Stoker novel. The 8 voice types required are high soprano, soprano, mezzo-soprano, 2 tenors, 2 baritones and bass (or bass-baritone).
There is a version with full orchestra, and a chamber version
with 10-piece ensemble.
The orchestral writing is virtuosic for all instruments. The
musical style is easy to understand, often romantic and lyrical,
yet containing many dissonant sections closely connected with the
stage events. I consider this opera to be my most important work.
