about

chamber opera for 5 singers and 4 instrumentalists, 35 minutes
first performance at RADA Studio Theatre, London, 10 August 2017 as part of the Tête à Tête Opera Festival
The global search has begun for the first humans to set foot on Mars and make it their home. In 2032, as the spacecraft hurtles through space, humanity holds its breath… can the planet be colonised? But will Venus take it lying down? A short, post-baroque opera about the power of the gods - and a myth waiting to happen.
Contains adult themes
