Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Demeter, the Greek goddess of harvest, loves her daughter Persephone more than life itself. So after Persephone is kidnapped by Hades and taken as his bride, Demeter's sorrow covers the earth in winter snow. The crops fail, and Zeus sends his messenger Hermes to bring about Persephone's release. In turn hilarious and deeply moving, Glen Huser's interpretation of the iconic Greek myth offers an enchanting yet powerful reflection of life. Accompanied by a CD of the lyrics performed as an opera choral by Montreal school children, whilst narration comes from legend Terry Jones.
Accompanied by a compact disc of the opera composed by Giannis Georgantelis, performed by the Orchestre symphonique pop de Montréal and narrated by Terry Jones.
Retells the Greek myth of Persephone, abducted by Hades and taken to the Underworld as his bride, and her mother, Demeter, whose grief over losing her daughter brings about the coming of the seasons.
