Widely acknowledged as the greatest living British novelist, Ian McEwan has written his first opera libretto. Brimming with all the hallmark elements of his work - deluded, destructive passion and lives altered forever by a tragic error of perception and understanding - For You is a masterwork from a writer at the height of his powers. Inspired by the text, Michael Berkeley has written some of his most passionate and theatrical music to date, continuing his thrilling journey with Music Theatre Wales which started with the hugely successful production of Jane Eyre.
