Presented by Shirley Apthorp (South Africa)
With a multi-layered, open-ended story set to a delicious mix of traditional South African and contemporary music and performed by world-class singers, this is opera that needs to be seen and heard. In spite of having minimal staging resources, the production is engaging and deeply moving. The approach to the subject of LGBT+ rights is of tremendous value for communities around the world. The company is brave and intelligent to perform in and amongst the audience in the way that they did, symbolically placing the opera in and amongst society.
