Artistic Director Mervyn Millar
Musical Director Jonathan Tilbrook
Join us for the premiere of a new opera, Take Care, a touching insight into a carer's journey, based on research into the working lives of professionals who care for people with dementia at home.
The opera aims to elevate the status of dementia care and shine a light on the emotional labour of carers.
Professional soloists include Nottingham-born soprano Donna Bateman, John Upperton, Jane Streeton and Violetta Gawara. Dementia carers form the chorus, with an ensemble of professional and student musicians.
This world premiere promises to be a powerful and moving experience for all.
