Opera

Massenet's Cendrillon presents an unexpected, lavish retelling of a classic story. Rife with both opportunities and storytelling pitfalls, it was a deeply rewarding production.

The Day the Dogs Began to Talk was a complex, heady pour of a show. The dense and evocative score found its legs through a committed cast and the creative use of supertitles.

There's a lot to unpack about this show - the trials of working in the confines (and lack of boundaries) of singer-produced opera, the difficulty of unaccompanied/a capella opera, and deciding on a storytelling ethos for a show with characters drawn from world mythology and religion.

Redención is a beautiful and intimate examination of two people in very different circumstances, who share more than meets the eye.
