Voices of Now: Scenes from contemporary operas

Directed by award-winning director Michael McCarthy (Artistic Director, Music Theatre Wales), Voices of Now celebrates scenes from contemporary opera written in English. Featuring our four talented Young Artist répétiteurs at the piano, the scenes will be conducted by NOS Head of Music, Mark Shanahan.

This programme will showcase 21st century operas, with scenes from works by John Adams, Judith Weir, George Benjamin, Philip Glass, Emma Ruth-Richards, Mark-Anthony Turnage, Stuart MacRae and Unsuk Chin, and hark back to one of contemporary opera’s pioneers with an extract from Michael Tippett’s King Priam.
