Opera 1: Double Bill

Marilyn Forever by Gavin Bryars

It was on the night of August 5th 1962 which was the last night of Marilyn Monroe’s life. As men enter her bedroom, viewing her body, we see moments of her life interweaved with; love, relationships, ambition, fame, identity, abandonment, myth and ultimately, death.

The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat by Michael Nyman
An investigation into the world of a man (Dr P) with visual agnosia (or ‘mental blindness’ due to damage of the visual parts of the brain). Such patients ‘see but do not see’. They see colours, lines, boundaries, simple shapes, patterns, movement – but they are unable to recognise, or find sense in, what they see. They cannot recognise people or places or common objects; their visual world is no longer meaningful or familiar, but strange, abstract, chaotic, mystifying. If a world cannot be organised visually, other organizing principles may be found and used. In the case of Dr P, a gifted performer, his exceptional musical ability allows him, in large measure, to return sense to the world by putting it and his actions into music.
