Il Vagabondo: An Urban opera: A Tale of Gusto and Enchantment, Adaptation, Loss, and Preserving the Old Ways of Making a Life

by Glenn Carley

Overview

Enter the cross-cultural tale of gusto and enchantment, adaptation and loss, preserving the old ways of making a life. Presented in six acts with intermissions and curtain calls, it is a new form of literature presented in interactive libretto form. Read it silently, read it out loud, or step upon the imaginary stage of all life to commandeer the operatic recitative called sing/speak. Il Vagabondo is a love story-an opera rusticana of the people, by the people, for the people. It is all true.
