Having mesmerised audiences with their holographic opera in our Winter Festival 2012, Opera Erratica returns with Triptych, a daring new work mixing together music, avant-garde performance, visual art and fashion. Taking Puccini’s Il Trittico as a starting point, this new trio touches on radical feminism, pornography, heart-wrenching loss and the absurdity of language.
Suitable for 14+ year-olds Running time: 1 hour Supported by a group of individual donors 9
