REVIEW: The Fabulist
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Fabulist is a new show (opera? musical?) based on the music of Giovanni Paisiello, the classical Italian composer who died in 1816. It is revived into the modern day with book and lyrics by James P. Farwell. Well I say modern day, this show is set in 1929 in Mussolini’s Italy on a film set run by 2 sisters, one of whom is looking for love, and one of whom wants nothing of the sort. This show describes itself as a “playful new musical with an operatic edge”, but I would say there is far more than an “edge” of the operatic. If you go and see this show, go in expecting to see operatic songs and music with some dialogue in between them, rather than anything akin to a new modern musical. I know for me it took me a few moments to re-adjust my expectations once the first song began.
