Emperor Norton - Henry Mollicone, John S. Bowman

3

Catalog No. 4717 Commissioned by the San Francisco Opera

Emperor Norton a Chamber Opera in One Act for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Tenor and Baritone Soli, Violin, Violoncello and Piano John S. Bowman

Henry Mollicone

The playing area is a backstage in a San Francisco theater– suggested by typical paraphernalia–a rack of costumes, odds and ends of furniture, props, perhaps one bare bulb burning. The time is the present. The opera begins with a slightly tentative knocking on an exterior stage door. (Knocking) Andante flessibile q = 54
