Aieee.

Nancy and Tonya: The Opera.

The soap opera-like saga that followed the knee-bashing of Olympian ice princess Nancy Kerrigan 11 years ago has been adapted into a musical opera, with Kerrigan's cry of "Why me? Why me?" providing the performance's climactic moment.

"Nancy and Tonya: The Opera" is scheduled to be performed at Tufts University in the spring.

Where can I get Sheet music??

Posted by: Batya Kleen at January 31, 2006 11:53 PM

Well, according to the Tufts University Department of Music website:

Dates have not yet been announced for this production's presentation and ticket information is not yet available. A preview of parts of the opera will be held in May at a venue to be announced. The full premiere of the work will not be presented until January 2007 when our the New Music Building opens for business. When the dates are officially scheduled, we will post information on our website immediately.

Abigail Al Dorry is writing the music; Elizabeth Searle wrote the libretto. Regrettably, you may have to wait until next year to get the sheet music…
