As reported previously, we have embarked on our first emerging composers and writers mentoring project.
Following a two day workshop in April one budding composer Liz Johnson and one writer Rosalind Haslett were chose to work with Julian Philips and Simon Christmas on a new short opera work to accompany Seven Angels (pictured in rehearsal).
The work will be performed in the foyer of the Linbury Studio Theatre at the Royal Opera House on Thursday 14 July before a performance of Seven Angels. The performance will be free to ticket holders for the full-length opera.
When an extra angel appears in the foyer of the opera house, the management is thrown into confusion and it soon becomes apparent that this is no ordinary angel. One man must take action to save the theatre, the audience, the earth, not to mention the heavens, from the angel in the foyer.
