The Path to Heaven

I'm delighted to be working on the world premiere of this new opera by Adam Gorb, on a libretto by Ben Kaye.

"A powerful tale of extremism, expedience and deceit, The Path to Heaven exposes the disintegration of the loves, lives and hopes of a family struggling to survive during the Holocaust. Sara, Hanna, Dieter, Magda and Hans return home from a party to find that having ‘danced too long in the moonlight’, evil stalks them from the darkness. The discovery that their adoptive parents have disappeared triggers a descent into a nightmare from which none will escape unchanged. A meticulously-researched series of individual real stories has been woven into a thrilling new opera for the 21st Century." 

 

The first performances are in Leeds on 19th June, and Manchester on 21st June.
