LIVE: RI Composer Schlink Brings Original Production Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera to Fringe PVD
Wednesday, June 28, 2017
“It's a story of courage that has lasted over two thousand years and not enough people know about it,” says Providence based composer Bob Schlink.
He was inspired by the true story of Celtic queen Boudicca and felt compelled to tell her story in an inventive and powerful way; a heavy metal opera.
Schlink says Metal is the perfect style of music to portray the violence Boudicca and her people endured after the Romans tried to overtake her people.
