Jonathan Dove Composer
Alasdair Middleton Libretto
Roxana Haines Director
The world premiere of Odyssey, a powerful new music-drama for singers and orchestra composed by Jonathan Dove.
Drawing on first-hand accounts, this dramatically engaging story in song allows the audience to see through the eyes of one refugee on a perilous journey to seek safety in another country. As vivid snapshots of a peaceful home life turn to visceral images of unrest, together we travel through strange landscapes and across borders, and discover the courage it takes to leave loved ones and take desperate risks in order to survive.
