Scottish Opera will premiere five original short operas at the Word Festival in Aberdeen this May, marking the third year of the Company’s commissioning strand – Five:15 Operas Made in Scotland. I’ve written the libretto for one of these, Sublimation, collaborating with the composer Nick Fells. You can find out more about the other creative teams here.
In Sublimation, a woman is haunted by her traumatic past and unable to separate it from the present. As she is overwhelmed by memories her story takes a mythical turn. Can she escape what has kept her prisoner for so long?
Tickets are now available for the Glasgow and Edinburgh performances, priced £15, and are expected to sell out soon.
