摘要：Opera is a special kind of text, characterised by complexity, hybridity and spectacle. Poet Gwen Harwood and composer Larry Sitsky are celebrated artists in their own fields but what is perhaps less known is that they also coauthored six operas: Fall of the House of Usher (1965), a one-act opera based on Poe¡¯s short story; Lenz: an Opera in One Act after B¨¹chner¡¯s Story (1970); Voices in Limbo (1977); Fiery Tales (1975), based on Chaucer¡¯s Canterbury Tales and excerpts from Boccaccio¡¯s Decameron; Golem: A Grand Opera in Three Acts (1980), first performed in 1993, and De Profundis (1982), a setting of Oscar Wilde¡¯s letters.
