This event has passed.
Riders To The Sea

A man, full of unshed tears and haunted by the ghosts of his past, finds himself drawn back to the sea, and the memory of his mother, his sisters, and a great loss.

 

Newly orchestrated for oboe, clarinet and accordion, and with a new dramatic prologue, The Last Bit of the Moon, by Michael Betteridge and ArtfulScribe’s Community Sirens Collective with Antosh Wojcik, Vaughan Williams’ masterful miniature expands into a powerful tale of family, grief and love’s enduring power.

 

In a production that weaves together live performance, projection and recorded sound and OperaUpClose bring their own inimitable style to a classic with musical storytelling at its most direct and visceral.
The show is captioned throughout as part of the production design.
