about

ARIAS, INTERLUDES, AND INVENTIONS from Moran’s opera DESERT OF ROSES are five sections from various scenes in this stage work dealing with the legend of Beauty and the Beast. The two short arias are sung by soprano Jayne West, who created the leading role in the 1992 world premiere at Houston Grand Opera. Both arias are from Act II, the first in which the girl is given her request to return for a short visit to her family, the second a song over the lifeless body of the beast. The fifth and final movement, re-written, re-scored for the Argo recording, is in fact the finale of the opera, which on stage incorporates the entire cast.
