A mother, a daughter and a time of turmoil. What happens to the human heart when the climate changes? Can the bonds of family love survive when the planet itself is on fire? No composer makes a story come to life like Jonathan Dove (Flight, Itch, Marx in London), and his brand-new staged opera, featuring our community of singers, is a drama of protest, youth activism, and the human cost of climate change. This should be gripping.
