Hadrian (opera) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hadrian (opera)
''Hadrian'' is an opera by American-Canadian singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, scheduled to premiere in 2018 by Toronto's Canadian Opera Company. It is based on the life of Hadrian (76–138 AD), who was Roman emperor from 117–138. The libretto is written by Canadian actor, director and playwright Daniel MacIvor. ''Hadrian'' is Wainwright's second opera, following ''Prima Donna'' (2009). ==Background and development==
''Hadrian'' is Wainwright's second opera, following ''Prima Donna'', which premiered at the Manchester International Festival in 2009. Wainwright was inspired by Marguerite Yourcenar's ''Memoirs of Hadrian'' (1951) and began composing ''Hadrian'' before ''Prima Donna''. However, lacking the confidence to "navigate all the emotional possibilities" that ''Hadrian'' would require, he concentrated his efforts on ''Prima Donna'' as his first opera production.〔
