Photos: Opera workshop at Snape Maltings

I’ve just spent four lovely days at Snape Maltings with a fantastic team of singers and players, rehearsing and showing around half an hour of the (as yet untitled) opera that playwright Alice Birch and I have been working on with the help of a Jerwood Opera Writing Fellowship.

The cast (soprano Anna Dennis, baritone Felix Kemp, mezzo soprano Lucy Goddard and tenor Nathan Vale) have been fantastic, as have the Britten Sinfonia, répétiteur Robert Reid Allan, and especially the wonderful conductor Nicholas Kok.

More details about the future of the project will be on their way, but for now here are some pictures of our workshops:
