The Paradis Files
Graeae Theatre and 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra combine in Errollyn Wallen's new opera The Paradis Files about 18th-century musician Maria Theresia von Paradis. Jenny Sealey directs.
Graeae Theatre Company and members of the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra combine in Errollyn Wallen's new chamber opera The Paradis Files. Composer and pianist Maria Theresia von Paradis was a pupil of Salieri and friend of Mozart and graced the aristocratic salons of 18th-century Vienna. As she concentrates on her performing and teaching career, we uncover a dark secret from her youth as she battles against all those who insist on trying to cure her of her blindness.
Librettists Nicola Werenowska and Selina Mills
Composer Errollyn Wallen
Directed by Jenny Sealey
