We're really looking forward to our three week summer workshop in residence at The North Wall Theatre in Oxford.
The project, called ArtsLab, provides opportunities for emerging artists aged 18-25 to work with an exceptional team of professionals - musical director Mark Austin, composer Laura Bowler, designer Kate Lane, director Robin Norton-Hale and choreographer Joe Wild, and mezzo soprano Flora McIntosh.
Together we'll be exploring how to create a genuinely frightening and suspenseful version of Bartok’s Bluebeard’s Castle – in which the full-on opera experience combines with elements of the horror film genre, re-invented so that it interacts excitingly with audiences in small theatre spaces.
There will be two work-in-progress performances of the work that the ensemble have created, in Oxford on 12 & 13 August. Please get in touch with us via email if you should wish to join - Olivia@operaupclose.com
