Children's Opera in NY: 'Max & Moritz' & 'Supersize Girl' by Kverndokk & Wiik
To counter the negative media assault against healthy adolescent girls’ body image and self esteem, the New York Opera Society has commissioned a new, 45 minute children’s comedic opera from renown Norwegian composer Gisle Kverndokk and librettist Oystein Wiik about girls’ body image called “Supersize Girl”. This opera is a moral, inspiring, empowering representation of a girl’s journey through the travails of plastic surgery and back via a reality show.
The opera is sponsored in part by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
