Here is the second part of Kevin Sullivan’s Foreword in the Anne of the Island novel, in which he discusses how Anne of Green Gables led to Road to Avonlea and how that influenced the development of Anne of Green gables: The Continuing Story.

Kevin Sullivan drew from both the Anne novels and the life of L.M. Montgomery for inspiration to create his Anne films. Over the next three blogs, taken from Kevin’s Foreword in the Anne of the Island novel, Kevin will explain his creative process in developing his own Anne character while trying to pay tribute to L.M. Montgomery’s novels.

The next two blog posts contain video sequences that provide a unique behind the scenes look at how director Stefan Scaini, with a little help from Dylan Provencher (Hub) and Tyrone savage (Fat), worked out how to shoot two scenes from the Wind at my Back – Season 3 episode “Life on Mars”.

Here is the final excerpt from Kevin Sullivan’s foreword in the Centennial Edition Anne of Avonlea novel in which he explains how Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel came about.

“...the only music which might be put into the mouth of God without blasphemy.”
- George Bernard Shaw — on The Magic Flute

This spectacular modern reworking of Mozart’s breakthrough 18th century opera tells the story of a young classical singer, Tom Henderson, who is cast— against his better judgment— as the lead in a 2006 staging of The Magic Flute in Salzburg.

Here is the third and final installment of “Anne of Green Gables: Evolution of a Series”.

Mozart started his career as a composer at the age of four, when he began composing piano pieces. At the age of five he was composing minuets and by age nine he had composed his first symphony. He wrote 20 complete operas, his final and most spectacular being The Magic Flute, which he wrote in the last year of his life at age 35. Mozart was a combination of the revolutionary compositional brilliance of modern day composers such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney with the groundbreaking performance individuality of an Elvis Presley—all rolled into one. He was the ultimate iconic pop-star of the 18th century who traveled across Europe on tour, each one more outstanding than the next. Fortunately for a modern audience his genius has never faded. In celebration of his 250th birthday I wanted to capture some of his most joyous work on film, and decided that a contemporary movie version of The Magic Flute might be workable if told as the backdrop to a modern love story, conveyed on a fantastical scale.

Here is the second installment of “Anne of Green Gables: Evolution of a Series” that discusses how Kevin Sullivan brought Anne from a young orphan to a mature woman with a family of her own.
