Famed British composer Gavin Bryars joins Aventa in residence at The Banff Centre to create a new opera based on the last days of Marilyn Monroe, based on
award winning Canadian author Marilyn Bowering's book "Anyone can see Ilove you". Under the direction of Canadian director Joel Ivany, the evening will feature the other-worldly Faroese chanteuse, Eivør in two fully staged scenes from the opera. Also on the program is a performance of Bryars's 20th century masterwork "The Sinking of the Titanic". This residency is a co-production of the Banff Centre and the British Columbia Arts Council.
