The Fall Of A Queen, Or The Taste Of Fruit To Come

1991 · 20m · Music

This video opera incorporates improvised singing and some unusual instruments. The narrative centres around a Queen who, fearing revolution, seeks to find out what goes on outside her castle walls. Her personal joys and emotions and those of her people are woven into a collage of sound and imagery climaxing in the attempted murder of the young crown Prince and the siege of the castle.
