<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Meet the creators behind the words of Canadian opera in this exciting new collection of contemporary libretti. Featuring <em>Ours</em> by Robert Chafe, <em>Rocking Horse Winner</em> by Anna Chatterton, <em>Beatrice Chancy</em> by George Eilliott Clarke, <em>Missing</em> by Marie Clements, <em>Nigredo Hotel</em> by Ann-Marie MacDonald, <em>Shelter</em> by Julie Salverson, and <em>Dog Days</em> by Royce Vavrek, <em>When Words Sing</em> turns the spotlight on everything that goes into writing libretti, and answering frequently asked questions along the way.</p> <p>Through supplementary interviews, essays, and illustrations, the book will examine the role of the librettist; how a libretto can inspire a composer, director, and designer; and how the relationship between words, music, sound, and design coalesces into an ageless theatrical form.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Julie Salverson is a writer, speaker, teacher and workshop leader who has worked in professional and community engaged performance for many years. Her theatre, opera, and essays embrace the relationship of imagination and foolish witness to stories of violence. Her book <em>Lines of Flight, An Atomic Memoir</em> (Wolsak & Wynn) follows her journey tracing uranium from the Northwest Territories to Hiroshima while unearthing the secrets of her childhood, burning out as an activist and finding beauty in haunted places. She runs workshops for groups practising resiliency through drama. She has published many essays about how to witness a terribly beautiful world as well as the role of clown and courage in facing difficulty. She is a professor of drama at the Dan School of Drama and Music at Queen's University and is based in Kingston, Ontario.</p>
