The entire work is filled with fee lyrical genius of Dr. Larson's free verse.

Dr. Larson and Mr. Isaacson agree that it would take a minimum oi sau.ooo to nnisn the opera and produce it. The production would take months and would be a gargantuan task, but the finished product, with Mr. Peterson playing the lead, gives great promise. Three months work remains to be done on fee music, Mr. Isaacson reports, it he can spend full time on fee work. If fee he must do it piece-meal- , completion of fee score will take much longer. The opera, upon, completion, will be a work that combines poetry, drama, ballet, symphony and opera. "What we need Is financial support for fee artists in the community," Dr. Larson says.
