06 Honest bird, simple bird (Ça Ira) Roger Waters 2005 History: Waters, known for his work in the English rock band Pink Floyd, was approached by friends Étienne Roda-Gil and his wife Nadine Delahaye in 1987, and asked to set their libretto to music. The initial version was completed and recorded by the end of 1988. After hearing it, François Mitterrand was suitably impressed and urged the Paris Opera to stage it for the bicentennial of the revolution the following July. The opera directors, however, were resistant, according to Waters, because "I was English, and I had been in a rock group." Starting in 1989, Waters rewrote the libretto in English. Critical reaction Ça Ira has received mixed reviews. The biggest criticisms were that the opera is too narrative, which makes staging very difficult — and, as a result, disrupts the flow of the piece. Others have complained that the score is too conventional and that Waters should have taken more risks with it. Ça Ira es la primera ópera compuesta por el británico Roger Waters, antiguo líder de la banda de rock inglesa Pink Floyd. Obra que le ha supuesto al autor, con interrupciones, 16 años de trabajo, según confesión propia y que culminó a mediados de julio de 2005. Se trata de una "historia para ópera de la Revolución francesa", cuyo libreto ha escrito Etienne Roda-Gil. El proyecto se suspendió provisionalmente tras la muerte por leucemia de la esposa del libretista, Nadine, que había ilustrado la edición original del libro. Ça ira fue presentada en versión de concierto ese mismo año en Roma, entre los intérpretes de música clásica elegidos para cantarla figura el tenor galés Bryn Terfel.
