"POIGNANT" "COMPELLING" "EVOCATIVE" "GRIPPING" THE CRITICS SPEAK! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR NEWS ON OUT-OF-TOWN Paula Citron's Excellent Review @ Classical 96 Christopher Hoile's Review at thewholenote.com TrypTych presented the world premiere of Canadian composer Andrew Ager's Frankenstein on January 20 and 22, 2010 at 7.30 PM in the newly refurbished West Hall Theatre in Trinity Presbyterian Church. This original production designed and directed by TrypTych's very own contemporary opera specialist, Edward Franko is an stimulating, intriguing and fascinating evening of opera theatre. Music direction is by the composer Andrew Ager. Frankenstein based on the extraordinary novel by Mary Shelley is a landmark in gothic literature. It's universal themes of alienation, the pursuit of dangerous knowledge, and justice/injustice resonate just as strongly today as they did in when it was first published in 1821. The excellent all-Canadian cast is headed by Lenard Whiting as the egotistical yet angst-filled Victor Frankenstein and baritone Stephen King sings the daunting role of the legendary Monster. Joining them are two returning TrypTych favourites, Melanie Conly as Agatha and Michael Taylor as Felix. Graham Robinson, Michael York and Dawn Bailey all make their TrypTych debuts. Making his operatic debut, Charles Waddell will be singing the role of the boy William Frankenstein.
