Roles
We are the V&A Opera Company in Residence, along with Oliver Brignall, Oct 17 - Mar 18.
Meet five of opera's best-loved female characters, including Salome, Bess and Susanna, thrust together at a fantasy dinner party. Expect power struggles, questionable table manners and a serving of severed head.
This new opera from Librettist Poppy Burton-Morgan and Composer Oliver Brignall is presented by Metta Theatre.
‘brave and brilliant, running the gamut of emotions from frivolity to cold fury... spectacular costumes, like artworks...provocative’ - The Stage
