BETWEEN WORLDS
11 April 2015 at 7.30pm
BETWEEN WORLDS
English National Opera London Coliseum United Kingdom ENO Between Worlds is the highly anticipated operatic debut from composer Tansy Davies, who collaborates with director Deborah Warner and librettist Nick Drake on this world premiere.
In this sensitive, spiritual and ultimately uplifting journey inspired by the events of 9/11, a disparate group of individuals is trapped high up in one of the Twin Towers, caught between earth and heaven, life and death.
Described as possessing a ‘rare power to remind listeners of their own inner freedom’ (The Guardian), Davies’ distinctive sound world combines unrestrained exuberance with emotional depth. Deborah Warner directs the composer’s first opera, following critically acclaimed productions of Death in Venice, and Eugene Onegin and her recent Barbican staging of The Testament of Mary. Contemporary music specialist Gerry Cornelius conducts.
