Etiquette
Maureen Batt and Erin Bardua, soprano; Lucy Hayes Davis, mezzo-soprano; Tara Scott, piano; Brad Reid, clarinet
Leaf Music, September 2023
Etiquette by composer Monica Pearce, with libretto by John Terauds, offers a glimpse of 1920s icons by diving into the lives of Dorothy Parker, Emily Post, and Nancy Astor. Inspired by Parker’s sharp critique of Post’s “Etiquette” from 1927, the opera offers a window into their era. Commissioned by Essential Opera in 2013, this première recording blends traditional themes, echoing the timeless practice of revisiting history to shed light on the present.
