The Dolls of New Albion, A Steampunk Opera is a four act musical written by Paul Shapera which follows four generations of the McAlistair family in the fantastical city of New Albion. It is often abbreviated as DoNA. The album features four singers. Traditionally, two of them (Lauren Osborn and Jason Broderick) have a different role every act, as the main characters change with each successive generation. The other two (Kayleigh McKnight and Paul Shapera) play the Narrator and Jasper the Doll. All four acts are narrated by a woman named Kate. The 1st Act is concerned with a scientist, Annabel McAlistair, and her attempt to bring back her dead love, placing him within the body of a mechanical mannequin. The 2nd Act shows her son, Edgar, his business exploits, and how they affect the city. The 3rd Act follows his son, Byron, and his ensuing political race and cultural impact on New Albion. Finally, the 4th Act tells the story of Priscilla McAlistair and a New Albion Soldier. Throughout each acts there is Jasper, a continual presence in each of the character's lives.
