Act one of the new chamber opera ‘Green Angel’ composed by myself (Lauren Redhead) and written by Adam Strickson. The performers are: Aniko Toth (Ash, Soprano), Katherine Jarvis (Old Woman, Mezzo), Heather Roche (Bass Clarinet), Emilia Ergin (Violoncello), Robin Bowles (Accordion), Enrico Bertelli (Percussion) and Jenny Daniel (Soprano).
The costumes and sets were produced by undergraduate design students from the University of Leeds.
We will make many changes for the final staged version, but creating this performance has given us far more insight into writing and producing opera than we could have gained otherwise.
The video was made at Stage@Leeds.
NB no video until 4’45” as this begins with music played as people entered the theatre.
