Albarn writing opera with Alan Moore
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 November 2009
Gorillaz duo Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are working on a second opera, with lyrics by Alan Moore, the grumpy graphic novel writer has revealed.
In an interview with Mustard Magazine, the Watchmen writer said: “We’re planning for me to do the libretto on their next opera project”.
Albarn and Hewlett’s first operatic collaboration was, of course, ‘Monkey: Journey To The West’, which debuted in 2007 and concluded with a residency at the O2 Dome in London.
