A stream of consciousness setting of Virginia Woolf's "Mrs Dalloway" as a work for stage. Fusing the forms of opera and dance-theatre, the work takes form as an immersive poetic telling of the classic novel.

Speak

Premiered 8th March 2019 by the RDAM Sinfonietta conducted by Jean Thorel with soloists Emma Ilona Mustaniemi (soprano) and Stephen George Yeseta (countertenor). Text sourced from William Blake’s ‘Songs of Innocence and of Experience’. Excerpt:

              The thrones of Kings are shaken,
              Tombs in desolate places:
              Night is worn
              And the morn rises
                                from slumberous Mass.
