Omnium is concept CD released by Teatro ZinZanni through One Reel productions. It was created with Teatro ZinZanni's unique theatrical and musical stage productions in mind, where there are linked songs that make up a story. In this case the story of Cleopatra. The Lyrics and Music where written by Teatro ZinZanni Maestro Norm Durkee and Martha Davis of The Motels playing the part of Cleo or Aka Cleopatra. Martha sings on six of the songs, three others she also co-wrote, are prefomed by male singers about Cleopatra. The remaining four songs are instrumental in nature. According to the notes by Norman Durkee

"We <Norman Durkee and Norm Langill> commissioned Martha to write several songs for specific scenes, hoping a sung narrative would give our theatrical hybrid another powerful tool.^[1]

Its cover is from a painting by Gabrielle Bakker called "Actors". The CD was recorded between April and June 2005, and was released in 2005, it is currently only available from Teatro ZinZanni's Boutique and Gift Shop.
