LOVE & THE MUSE — A Chamber Opera

Music by Ross Edwards Libretto by Wendy Beckett
An Opera about composer Gustav Mahler and his wife Alma. Alma’s name has been linked romantically with many famous men both during and after her marriage to Mahler, among them Gustav Klimt and architect Walter Gropius –of the Bauhaus. Alma reluctantly came to realize that a musical career of her own would not be possible and threw herself into the role of muse. She believed her devotion to her husband’s music was a commitment to history.
