Asking4It Productions will present the world premiere of a newly commissioned opera double-bill as part of the Performances for the Curious season at Wales Millennium Centre.

Described as a modern opera double bill for everyone who loves opera and for anyone who thinks opera isn’t for them.

‘THE FILMMAKER and THE ORGAN TRADER’ (30 minutes) A haunting electronic score evoking an industrial, transport and internal body soundscape. An unusual love story between clowns inviting us to delve into their dark, lucrative world of body harvesting and organ trading. A crowd funded commission 2016.

 

Asking4It Productions write, commission and produce music theatre and innovative opera suitable for everyone over 16.
