Alphabetti Theatre
Music: Anna Appleby
Libretto: Anna Appleby and Emma Wheeler
If you died, who would you want to haunt? ‘Ghost’ is built on Emma Wheeler and Anna Appleby’s life experience as queer, neurodivergent women – stories that have not historically been told in opera, tinged with comedy, trauma, and love. This opera is the coming-together of two musical worlds, from Appleby’s Glyndebourne and BBC Philharmonic opera composition history and Emma Wheeler’s rich mezzo vocals, to Norrisette and Rosé Gold’s grungy underground electronica and DIY drag fashion extravagance. Prepare for a ghost story like no other!
Age range: All ages, but mostly adults
In a festival of new work, please note that shows may overrun.
