ROGER WATERS: Ça Ira

Ça Ira es la primera ópera compuesta por Roger Waters. Obra que le ha supuesto al autor, con interrupciones, 16 años de trabajo, según confesión propia y que culminó a mediados de julio de 2005. Se trata de una "historia para ópera de la Revolución francesa", cuyo libreto ha escrito Etienne Roda-Gil. Ça ira fue presentada en versión concertante ese mismo año en Roma, entre los intérpretes de música clásica elegidos para cantarla figura el tenor galés Bryn Terfel.

LANZAMIENTO: Septiembre 2005
CURIOSIDADES: El proyecto se suspendió provisionalmente tras la muerte por leucemia de la esposa del libretista, Nadine, que había ilustrado la edición original del libro.
