About
This is an audio version of the live premiere production which was presented as part of Tête-à-Tête Opera Festival 2021, but with remastered HD sound. (The full video version will be available at a later date.)
Synopsis: On a planet where history is forbidden, a young girl dares to tell her story. A voyage across galaxies and millennia, hers is a tale of the archipelagos of Khye-rell and their matterwork, through transdimensional canals and sealanes to the RUNE of the universe’s origin. This song, her story – through the very act of being told – will have consequences beyond imagining…
Alastair White’s work has been described as ‘virtuosic’ (Winnipeg Free Press) and ‘passionately atonal’ (Gramophone). His work has been shortlisted for a number of art awards and several critics have praised White for effectively creating a new sub-genre of staged musical works.
The two main characters are supported by a trio of pianos, creating a virtuosic and unique backdrop to the sung and spoken libretto. The performance includes dance and original fashion design and is a visual spectacular.
