You might recall our story from 5th January
about the wonderful imagery that was projected during Roger Waters'
world premiere live performance of Ca Ira, in Rome in mid-November.
Those that were there, or those
who read our concert review and looked at our gallery of pictures, will
have been struck by the thought-provoking pictures that were projected
onto the screen behind the black-clad orchestra.

The images were created by
photographer Mark Holthusen, who was hired by Roger and Sony BMG Music
a mere month before the show, to substitute traditional set design with
projected photographic illustrations.
The screen featured over 120
images from the many taken by Mark. From concept to final production,
the entire body of work was produced in a breath-taking 40 days! His
striking and quite unique style brought the story to life at the
concert, being the sole visual narration.
We caught up with Mark to find out more about his work on Ca Ira, and you can read our interview on the site now.
In other Ca Ira news, our friend
Ezequiel from Argentina has been in contact. He has done a complete
translation of the libretto into Spanish, and it can be downloaded from
this location.
It is a "zipped" file, which expands into an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.
Hopefully this will be useful to all the native Spanish speakers across the world.
