The Opera Group TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR
The Lion's Face
Music by Elena Langer
Lyrics by Glyn MaxwellWorld premiere
Co-produced with Brighton Dome & Festival and Watford Palace Theatre
When a man suddenly forgets his own birthday at first it seems a trivial thing, but given time it signals an irreversible return to childhood... Told through theatre and music, The Lion's Face is a dramatic and richly textured take on ageing that explores the unbridgeable divide between young and old, between the blissful ignorance of youth and the steady march of time...
Poet Glyn Maxwell and composer Elena Langer first collaborated on the 'hauntingly beautiful' (Evening Standard) The Girl of Sand for the Almeida Theatre. Now, in conjunction with The Opera Group - winners of the 2008 Evening Standard Best Musical award for Street Scene - they present a compassionate and witty musical tale of love, loss and family.
This event forms part of our Learning Access and Participation focus on Dementia including Music for Life projects and a symposium with the Brighton Science Festival.
'The Opera Group is a dynamic young company that brings great theatrical verve to the staid old world of opera.' The Times
