Untold by Ho, A., Ab (2019/2019), Unter der Regie von Julia Cheng, Dirigat Alex Ho

From Alex: "[Untold] hopes to show the richness and heterogeneity of Chinese transnational experience, demonstrating how it can reinvent musical genres such as opera whilst also shedding light on how Chinese diaspora navigate the complex cultural spaces in diverse and unique ways. Receiving the George Butterworth Award is a really special moment, not least because within the context of the shocking amount of racism towards Chinese communities catalysed by Covid-19, it brings a touch of optimism that it is possible to present different narratives of what it can mean to be of Chinese heritage today. It is also lovely to share this recognition with all the artists who contributed so significantly to this piece through their hard work, patience, and skill. "
