CAAMORA, the project spearheaded by Clive Nolan (ARENA, PENDRAGON, SHADOWLAND) and Polish born vocalist Agnieszka Swita, are set to premiere their prog-rock Opera, She, on October 31st, 2007 at the Wyspianski Theatre in Katowice, Poland. Caamora will be supported by two bands, PALLAS and THE OLIVER WAKEMAN BAND, which features Oliver Wakeman (keyboards, piano), son of YES keyboardist Rick Wakeman. This epic production will also include guest vocalists Alan Reed (PALLAS, NEO), Christina Booth (MAGENTA), Karl Groom (THRESHOLD), John Jowitt (IQ, NEO) and Hugh McDowell (ELO).

She is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard, in which two explorers travel to Africa and stumble into a world of mystery and intrigue. They discover lost tribes living in vast underground caverns and worshipping the living Goddess Ayesha, who is believed to be a woman of vast age. She welcomes the explorers, but her true motives soon become  apparent. Ayesha has been waiting for the return of the man she  loves, a man she murdered over 2000 years ago.

Clive first encountered this story 25 years ago when he saw a film version at the cinema as a child. It had a profound effect on him, and many themes from this tale have appeared in different guises in his work over the years. It has always been his intention to set this story to music, but it was not until he met Agnieszka that seemed to be the right time.  After telling her the scenario, she was caught up in Clive's enthusiasm for the idea. With Agnieszka's encouragement, Clive decided to begin this epic composition. Over the following months Clive furiously set to writing material, and Agnieszka traveled regularly from Poland to England to record demos. Gradually, the material piled up until they had over two hours of songs and music.

The She album will be recorded in the summer of 2007. The album and DVD box set are scheduled for release on January 21st, 2007.
