"There is nothing like Patria in the history of Canadian musical theatre, either in ambition, scope or mythmaking potency"

For
40 years, [Murray Schafer] has been writing a huge cycle of 12 music-theater
works, collectively titled "Patria." Larger than Wagner's
"Ring" cycle or Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Licht,"
this cycle challenges the boundaries of both music and theater.
Colin Eatock New York
Times August 27, 2005
The most wildly imaginative and physically
ambitious series of music theatre works in the history of the Canadian
stage.
