Details

Street gangs, loners, violence, love: this thrilling new opera is a contemporary urban story, both dark and magical, about a group of young people connected by a web of stories... and the giant blue spider that might save them all. With music by Aldeburgh Alumna and star of the 2008 Last Night of the Proms Anna Meredith, and text by award-winning playwright and novelist Philip Ridley, this is a seriously modern tale. Anna Meredith's music - which draws as much from the pop world as from her classical roots - weaves together acoustic, electronic and amplified sounds to create a vibrant and bold musical world. Ideal for everyone aged 13 and over.
