Three Amputators is an opera in progress after the story The Three Army Surgeons by the Brothers Grimm. The libretto is by Royce Vavrek. The opera tells of three travelling doctors who seek lodging for a night, offering the establishment's innkeeper a demonstration of their unbelievable skills: they can cut out parts of their own bodies only to reattach them later with the aid of a proprietary salve. After one removes a hand, another their heart, and the third their eyeballs, an enigmatic Cat appears on the scene. Helpless to control her appetite, she gorges herself on the flesh and throws the course of the story into disarray. This is a contemporary interpretation of one of the Grimm's most eccentric, gruesome tales, fitting right into any comic or horror-themed programming.
