Concert Information
Join us for the world premiere of Drought, a new one-act opera by composer Anna Appleby and poet Niall Campbell that has been developed over the past three years. This metaphysical tale of retribution and remorse revolves around two characters, on what appears to be a single day in a single room on a drought-stricken farm, and the rising tensions between them. The score juxtaposes a nostalgic, pastoral orchestral world with the electronic allure of the radio and all it promises.

This opera is the result of a ground-breaking project where poet Niall Campbell and composer Anna Appleby have written an opera together for their doctoral research. It is a collaboration between the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester Metropolitan University and the BBC Philharmonic, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The premiere is semi-staged with minimalist props and set.
