Tom Service presents the world premiere performance of Drought, an opera by Anna Appleby with libretto by poet Niall Campbell. This metaphysical tale of retribution and remorse revolves around two characters on a drought-stricken farm, and the rising tensions between them. The soloists are Lila Chrisp and Sally Pitts, with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic conducted by Jack Sheen.
Also in the show, music for solo violin and electronics played by Rakhi Singh, recorded in concert at Cheltenham Festival last month.
