A new Canadian-French co-production of Kopernikus, his "ritual opera of death," visited festivals in Strasbourg and Huddersfield, England, last fall, and has now arrived in Vivier's hometown of Montreal for two performances... The production was first seen last summer at the Banff Centre for the Arts, which took a vital co-production role in the early stages. For Banff, the venture was entirely in line with its role, developed over the past decade and more, as an international incubation centre for new-music theatre and opera.
