I know we are many fans who also love Pink Floyd "or" Roger Waters the man behind the floyd..
I will buy the new album "Ca Ira" , Tuesday, September 27. It's in the stores and hes giving us a fresh new album to enjoy. This may be different about what we had heard from him before, but i think the album will have good opera songs. I just wonder how this opera songs will be.. will they screeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaammm? Or will they be beautyful? Slow? Majestetic? Will they have the sound of "Bring the boys back home"?

this site tell us something...
-> The finished version of "Ça Ira" features orchestration and choral arrangements by Rick Wentworth and Roger Waters, also the album's producers. Principal characters in the opera are brought to life by the Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel (the Ringmaster, the Troublemaker, Louis Capet - the King of France); internationally acclaimed soprano Ying Huang (Marie Marianne - the Voice of Liberty, Reason and the Republic, Marie Antoinette - the Queen of France); American tenor Paul Groves (A Revolutionary Priest, A Military Officer); and Senegalese "one man orchestra" Ismael Lo (a Revolutionary Slave). Other parts are sung by Jamie Bower (Honest Bird - the young Revolutionary Priest) and Helen Russill (Madame Antoine - the young Marie Antoinette).
Before the rise and fall of the guillotine, before the terror took hold, the People of France fought for a better world based on the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity rather than one ruled by a callous and outmoded nobility. It is this story of hope and promise that inspired "Ça Ira." Set during the optimistic early days of the French Revolution, "Ça Ira is a work of stunning power and beauty, invoking the passion, madness, and triumph of faith in a time that forever changed the nature of the world.
