Roger Waters Ca Ira 2 SACD & DVD

Before the rise and fall of the guillotine, before the terror took hold, there was The People. They fought for a better world based on the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity, instead of one ruled by a callous and outmoded nobility. It is this story of hope and promise that inspires Ca Ira (There is Hope), the extraordinary new Opera by the legendary Roger Waters (who co-founded the ground-breaking rock group Pink Floyd).

Brought to life by the world-renowned talents of baritone Bryn Terfel, soprano Ying Huang and tenor Paul Groves, Waters, with collaborators Etienne and Nadine Roda-Gil, sets the Opera during the optimistic early days of The French Revolution. A work of stunning beauty and power, Ca Ira evokes the passion, faith and madness of a time that forever changed the nature of the world.
