About the musical excerpts:
The music files are in MP3 format, which gives excellent audio fidelity, and they are less than 1/10 the size of the original audio files. To listen to these excerpts, you will need an MP3 plugin. If you don’t have one, follow these links to either Microsoft Windows Media Player or Real Player .
About the performance:
This opera has never been performed. What you hear is a synthesizer mockup, performed on a GigaStudio software synthesizer. Voices have been simulated with looped phonemes. It is hoped that the listener will bear in mind that a real performance will sound a great deal better! Really!
