Cognitive Distortions

For two soprano voices, one male spoken voice, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, piano and percussion

A multi-movement quasi-theatrical work  - with text by yours truly - that follows a young woman who has entered a vocal competition and is experiencing "cognitive distortions" - different ways of distorting reality and making things more significant than they really are.  As she expresses her thoughts during each stage of the process, another voice suggests a different way of viewing the situation and a psychologist provides analysis and explanation.

Commisioned by the University of Manitoba's Contemporary Opera Lab in 2004, this 20-minute one-act opera follows a cast of 6 characters (with chorus) on a city bus.
