Sir Peter Maxwell Davies began work on his parodic opera
Resurrection whilst studying at Princeton in the early 1960s but it
wasn't until the 1980s that he resumed composition. It was finally
staged in 1987. Its violent diversity though any stylistic jolts
are deliberate takes aim at a series of targets (state, church, and
media) and is expressed in a dazzling but masque-like succession of
scenes, and through the blackly comic pastiche of hymn tunes,
marching bands, saccharine waltzes, and banal TV advertisements.
