 The Busker's Opera - Reviews - www.theage.com.au
In The Busker's Opera, the history of popular music is strutted, mocked and celebrated.
Its narrower range and absence of high moral seriousness makes it a very different work, one that needs to be understood and enjoyed not in a lengthy progression - Ota ran for seven hours - but rather in many teasing layers.
Yet this is precisely the kind of boundary-pushing we value in Lepage's work, and The Busker's Opera has a satisfying complexity that goes well beyond its musical parodies.
