Description: Riders of the Purple Sage: The Making of a Western Opera follows a classically trained composer as he adapts a dime novel masterpiece into a grand opera. In 1912, Zane Grey’s 'Riders of the Purple Sage' flew off bookshelves around the world and today is recognized by the Library of Congress as “One Hundred Books that Shaped America.”A century later, composer Craig Bohmler takes shelter in Zane Grey's cabin during a rainstorm. There, amidst posters from Grey’s Hollywood Westerns, Bohmler discovers a story with the grand dimensions of opera; he decides then and there to mount the legendary frontier novel for the operatic stage. Alongside a team of designers, musicians, singers, and fine art painter Ed Mell, Bohmler translates America's cowboy culture and sprawling beauty of the West into the realm of Puccini and Verdi.All media titles are US Reg A/1 unless otherwise noted.DVD-R: Some titles from HBO Archives, Warner Archives, Sony MOD are now being pressed on DVD-R, these are not bootlegs. It allows titles the studios doesn't want to mass produce to be printed in smaller batches. The DVD, case and artwork are still at the same standards for mass production titles. I do not manufacture these, I order them as needed from my distributor. For an explanation, Google Warner Archives, they have a website explaining the program.SLIPCOVERS: If you must have a slipcover, please ask first. Most of my listings use eBay's prefilled data, which has a stock image showing the slipcover even if it is no longer available. If I have the slipcovers I will include them.Combined Shipping: In the US, each additional title is $1.00. For order outside the US, I use eBay's International Shipping Program. If you are ordering multiple titles, contact me first to work out shipping details, otherwise each item ships seperately driving shipping costs up. I can combine your order in one eBay listing to prevent this but I need to know which titles you need first.Returns: See my Returns Policy for details. Titles with the Digital Code used/missing cannot be refunded. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
