Artistic Director

LYO is delighted to bring you the World Premier of THE QUEST with stirring music by Nathan Williamson and witty lyrics by Megg Nicol - an impassioned battle between idealistic young scientists and corrupt politicians this story takes inspiration from the works of WH Auden and Christopher Isherwood.

The Quest - London Youth Opera

Shaw Theatre

Robbed of his position, power and wealth, his enemies have left him in isolation. But this is no ordinary man, and this no ordinary island. Prospero is a magician, able to control the very elements and bend nature to his will. When a sail appears on the horizon, he reaches out across the ocean to the ship that carries the men who wronged him. Creating a vast magical storm he wrecks the ship and washes his enemies up on the shore. When they wake they find themselves lost on a fantastical island where nothing is as it seems.
