Journey into Time – A (soft) Rock Opera – A word from Dick Whittington Composer and Arranger (and local Sunshine Coast Resident)

This opera was written in November 1981 and has been languishing in drawers, gathering dust since then and has only recently been recorded at the insistence of my daughter and put on a double CD in anticipation of this one-off stage performance.

This has been a journey of discovery for myself, and it has been my great pleasure to work with several local artists and musicians in the making of the CD and who will also be performing the opera on stage.

Inspired by the music of Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Simon and Garfunkel, Cat Stevens and Leonard Cohen, this 24-song rock opera will take you on an interstellar journey through space, time and within yourself.

From being launched on a Saturn V rocket, your mission takes you to the outer reaches of the Solar System beyond the planet Uranus where you are suddenly transported, through a wormhole, to a new world in a different solar system.

Trapped in this glass world, along with other similarly trapped interstellar travellers from other solar systems, you resolve to escape and find your way back to Earth.

Music is the source of your liberation but, once freed, you find that you are unable to get back to Earth and must continue your journey of discovery in this new solar system.

Each song uniquely progresses your journey as you encounter obstacles along the way, in space and within yourself, and overcome them with music, ultimately being the salvation of your soul.
