Songs for Survivors of the 21st Century is a moving and uplifting new opera theatre show written by Vanessa Oakes (words) and Vahan Salorian (music).A life-affirming and heartfelt celebration of our shared humanity, Songs for Survivors of the 21st Century welcomes the audience into an Emergency Reception Centre as survivors of the current loneliness epidemic.
Funny as well as sometimes sad, this show reminds us that connection and belonging matter, and asks what would happen if only we had more time for each other.
Please note: this is a promenade performance so the audience will be standing and walking around the space. A limited number of chairs will be available for those with access needs. To reserve a seat for this performance, please call our Box Office team via 024 7655 3055 or email us at [email protected]
Quotes from audience members at our rehearsal:
“I love the INNOVATION: challenging over staged theatrical techniques this feels fresh and NEW.”
“This showed how opera can be more interesting to ordinary people.”
“Beautiful. Innovative. Ambitious. And very moving.”
“A really moving and excitingly immersive piece that breaks down the barriers between performers and audiences.”
“The opera was fantastic, very moving and very powerful. I was surprised at the emotions it brought up for me, even after a couple of spoken sentences.”
