This event was performed exclusively in The Imaginary Festival 2020.
Music and the Brain is a new electro-opera inspired by the case studies of Oliver Sacks. The Singer’s successful career has been cut short by an accident. The resulting brain injury has caused her to lose the ability to comprehend music. Her Doctor hopes that this interesting case will redeem him in the eyes of the academic community. The Doctor is sung by Gunnar Guðbjörnsson who is an established tenor with a career that has taken him to some of the leading opera houses in Europe.
