High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! To Traverse Water is an opera by Tasmanian (Australian) composer Constantine Koukias (1965 - ) that depicts a young Greek woman's departure for Australia and her settlement there. Her tale is loosely based on that of Koukias' mother, and the opera makes direct reference to her at the end of the show when a slide picture of her appears, along with a tape of her voice intoning an old village song. Writing of the 1995 Melbourne Festival production, The Age's Jim Davidson noted that "with the modern decline in church-going, one of opera's key functions is to offer ritual re-enactment at an emotionally intense level".
