This groundbreaking opera, composed and written by Helen Epega, and first staged in 2015, transports audiences to a world where music has the power to inspire, heal and unite at a time when the world seems so divided.
Join the herione Kenate on a musical journey of love, hope, peace, betrayal and redemption.
Already having been performed in London, Lagos, Turin, Bodrum and Cape Town to rave reviews, this newly revamped show is a blend of the rich African tradition of storytelling, harnessing Nigerian Pidgin English, Patois, Creole, Cockney, hip hop vernacular and multicultural London slang, with western classical music presented through an afro-futuristic lens.
